2009 Rockwood 8313SS Slide Seal Question

Hello Group, last week I brought home from indoor winter storage this TT. When I inspected it, I noted some water damage at the bottom of the wall immediately above the 8’ slide. The longer, 13’ slide on the other side showed no such signs of water damage. Upon closer exam today, I note that The D-shaped exterior seal running across the top of each slide has deteriorated and has some black mold/fungus. I, therefore, need to replace these seals ASAP to help prevent wall delamination and other problems. I reviewed a catalog of RV parts, etc., obtained from a local RV dealer and it appears that the seal used originally on this 2009 TT is identified as a “D Seal for EKD Base”. It is pricey at approx. $110 for a 35’ length. Can anyone either confirm that this is the correct seal or inform me what the correct seal is? Also, I would like to know of any on-line (less expensive) companies offering this replacement seal.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
