Mark, you want to inspect the lower scraper seal.  If it is cracking up and
at least replace that as well.  Easy to do, however the upper seal will
need trimming as they are always about a couple inches too long for some
reason.  Here is the link to the part on our site:

I do have a video about removing the seals here:

The seals are German and high quality.
