Full Wall Slide Wiper Seal Pulling Away on One End

Hi All, I just purchased a 2015 Fleetwood Discovery 40E and noticed that the front 1 foot of the wiper seal on the top of the driver's side full wall slide has come off the rail that it is secured for the whole length of the slide. I am worried I will have water intrusion the first time it rains, behind the drivers seat, when I retract the slide. It looks like it has some glue residue on it, so guessing the glue has given it up for about 1 foot. Anyone seen this, and how was it repaired? Is it DIY or is dealer or factory repair required? Thx!

    I have a full wall slide and the seals came off at both end vertical walls. I cleaned off the residue and used the thick superglue to reattach. 3 years on and still good to go.

    A Positive outcome has been provided by the selling dealership, they plan on repairing the issue for us, since our DPI was cut short by darkness and past closing time.
