The bottom seal is a bit too loose. I can see light looking from inside out, somewhere in the middle of the slide out. It's just a tiny piece of rubber touching the slideout. Did anyone upgrade or replaces this one? How hard is it to do?

Hi MIK, I have replace the seal on the forward side of the slide-out.  I purchased 50ft of seal that was one step higher quality and about 1/8" wider.  Not very difficult to replace.  There are screws at both end with sealant on them.  The bottom seal in the picture looks in good shape.  Do you clean and lubricate the seals? Do the small rollers on the bottom dig into the bottom of the slide out?  My has deep groves where the rollers touch. The slide out sets slightly out of plumb with the trailer.
