replacing slide out wiper seal

I need to replace one of my slide out wiper seals. I am going to do it myself, so I was wondering what I may be in store for before getting into it...

This is the wiper seal that needs replacing - wiper seal

It has adhesive tape on 1 side...Can I assume that once I remove the bulb seal ( which I also have new ) I will find a few, or many screws holding the wiper in place?

I ASSUME that I just need to move the slide out to about 1/2 way to do the work?
  • You need to check this place out:

    They have everything for the RV
  • My wipers are individual, and both are stapled on. I only have a bulb seal, that slides on the outside wiper fitting. My bulb seal has a screw in each end. Like you are thinking, I suspect yours would have to be better fastened, than just the sticky tape. Possibly staples?
