Requesting help from 24RDS owners

So I was nosing around and got up on a step stool to inspect the sofa/refrigerator slide cables and I noticed a light leak under the wiper gasket. I went outside and checked the wiper gasket on the slide roof and see that it barely touches the roof in places.
This gasket doesn't appear to be too thick so I'm not sure how much contact it should be making, but at the same time I don't think I should be seeing daylight on the inside of the slide.
I would appreciate owners of this particular model willing to take some time to check their slide inside and/or outside to see how tightly sealed it might be. I'm wondering if maybe my slide wasn't properly installed.

Thanks.

Looking at your pictures, I am having a hard time seeing exactly what your describing.


I haven't noticed any "daylight" on my 24RDS from the inside on that slide.
I will take a closer look the next time I have the slide out though.
Getting ready to rain here tonight and tomorrow, so it might be a day or so.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, it's hard to get a phone camera to show very well.
The light area inside the red circle is actually light shining under the rubber gasket from outside. Just like light shines under a door. I'm positive it can't be right, but I don't know what to do about it, really.
The only thing I can figure is to try to raise the slide equally on each end a quarter inch or so, but I'm reluctant to just jump right in and start "adjusting" stuff.
