Bedroom top slide out seal

I need to replace the top outside wiper seal on our 2013 Montana.
For some reason the bedroom seal is not laying flat the way it should its
curled upward. The other slides are fine.
Can anyone give me information as to where I can order new a new rubber
wiper seal for it.
Has anyone replaced theirs?? Maybe you can let me know how hard it is to replace it. And give some advice on how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

I replaced all of my top slide seals and also the top bulb seals last year. I ordered from www.trekwood.com. On the site, you select make, model, year, and type of product you are wanting, in this case rubber. They don't have a photo of the part, just a drawing. It will be LTI #546, and is $3.42 per foot, and is called OFFSET FLAP TPE. There will be a screw on each end of the rubber that you need to remove, then you just pull the rubber down from the flange. Cut the new rubber exactly the same length, I used side cutters to cut through the embedded wire. Install the new rubber flap to the flange, it will lock on to the flange. Then reinstall the screws. I changed all of ours out in about 45 minutes.

I have one slide (big one) that has the top seal that curls up. I believe (and dealer foreman sort of confirmed) that the opening for the slide is too small. It is adjusted down as far as possible without any other problems and there is very little room at the top. So with the seal angling down, but no room, it has to go somewhere so it curls.
By the way, when this slide goes in, it pretty much just goes straight in instead of like other slide where they sort of raise up and then come in. I've thought about going to the rally and seeing if KEystone thinks the opening is too small, but am not in that part of the country most years.
