The outer seal should have no bearing on the seal of the slide when it is out. There is a seal around the "box" that fits snug up against the frame. The outer seal is a "wiper seal" and is used to remove moisture when retracting the slide.

On a dark night, have someone inside shine a flashlight beam around the inside frame of the slide. You should not see any light outside, in my thinking.
