The seal itself is a "D" seal, and it simply slides on and off a "T" track thats attached to the wall.
Probably the only thing holding the wall seal in place is the bottom seal, preventing it from dropping down (I have seen seals where the manufacturer used a small sheet metal screw at the bottom to hold it in place)
The bottom seal looks like the same type seal.
You can try to just depress the bottom seal where it contacting the wall seal, and just slide the wall seal down and off. Or, you may have to simply slide the bottom seal off, in which case the wall seal will slide down.
If the new seal is a tight fit sliding up the track, just spray it with some silicone spray.
Very simple job, 15 minutes per slide out.

Mine has a screw at the bottom of the D seal, holding it in place. It does slide off until the screw is removed. Buy 2-3 times what you need. These don't seem to last long. I had several replaced before the MH was one year old.

You have to get ahold of LCI Lippert components...look up the LCI Lippert app in the Apple Store or android, and give them a call you can place the order with them for new seals

Thanks for the info on the LCI app.
here is what LCI sent me and I thought this may help others, never knew the info was under there.

Not sure what they mean by notched? Do I want notched seals?

if you need these seals notched we will need to know the slide info (See attached) and standing outside looking witch seals are needed

You need to pull your seals back so you can find the label with the SKU number on it, so you can identify the parts and get it replaced but
