Timing is everything!! I just finished replacing all my seals this past week. Mine looked like the picture - yuk. I installed black ones so the dirt/grime won't show as much. The bulb seal came from RVupgrades.com for $ 82.00/35'. The wiper seal base came from Tweetys.com for $171.00/35'. Measure the wiper seal as it comes in different sizes. I needed two of each for my three slides. Removal is relatively easy (pulling staples wasn't fun!) but after removing staples be careful pulling off the old wiper seal as it is stuck on with tape and you don't want to crack/separate the siding from the plywood. Cleanup is the next issue as it took a while to clean most of the tape and caulk residue off. Installation is pretty simple but you will need a narrow crown staple gun with 1/2" staples for installation. I did one slide at a time so I could refer to the others for reference. Hope this info helps.
If you can do it yourself, change them. If not, take to rv service shop. They are important to prevent water intrusion.
There are many sites that sell them on google.
