Torn Wiper Seals

Hi. 2017 keystone bullet. The outer wiper seals have torn from almost all the slides. I took a pic of how it attaches. Sandwiched in between two pieces of metal. Any thoughts on how to replace these? I found these stick on wiper seals also. Has anyone used these? Do they stick well? Do I need to put a piece of metal strip over it to hold it? Is there a better contact glue I can put down to help adhesion?

Thank you. But they are torn top to bottom above that point. I was just taking a picture of where they mounted at the bottom

I have replaced mine. They are a different design than what you have... But yours may be OK. Mine were installed the way your pic looks. With the ends roughly cut. This was to allow the seals to overlap when the slide moves in and out.
Look them over carefully. If all of them are that way, then it was probably installed that way for a reason.

Yes. I agree. I do see a screw at the top but if you look at the bottom it is pinched. Plus I canโ€™t seem to find that exact molding for sale. I even called the rv place and they said they never have had to change wiper seals. Thatโ€™s something they donโ€™t do.

Usually there is a screw thru the metal track and the rubber seal. When you remove the screw the seal just pulls out. Silicone the new one and track and it will slide back in the track easily. Sometimes there is a screw on both ends

Iโ€™ve never fooled with them but I have viewed some pretty good you tube vids on the
subject. Good luck!
