Rubber gasket on slide out window pops out during retraction.

I've got a new 2017 Jayco Eagle 325bhqs with a slight annoyance. When retracting the living room slide out (the one just to the left of the entry door), the friction with the slide out gasket pulls the rubber seal around the window out every single time. I can reseat the window seal gasket, but it's a pain and I'd rather not have to.

Does anyone have a recommendation for keeping the window seal gasket in place? Anybody have the same issue?

Maybe wipe them both down with some silicone or armor-all to reduce the friction. It's a temporary thing, but may help some.

Is the slide centered in the opening? Maybe an adjustment is needed. Just an idea.

I'd have the gasket replaced under warranty. Since it does it all the time, it's eventually gonna wear out and leak.

I had the same problem on my 32 BHDS ... the slide needs adjusting. Easy DIY if you are pretty handy if not head to the dealer.

I'm handy, but never adjusted a slide before. Got a link to a video or description of what must be done?
