The bulb seal looks like it is making contact and sealing while closed.......even crushing the bulb seal flat below the floor level.

I would be more concerned with the gap in sealant where floor section/trim make contact with slideout vertical
With slide open water could run down side and in behind vertical/horizontal areas where sealant has pulled loose/missing/gapped (3rd pix down)
