It is a common problem. It can be caused by twisting the coach during leveling.

You should buy a windshield locking strip tool made by Lisle. It's 15 bucks, and you should keep it in the coach. You CANNOT put the locking strip back in the gasket without the tool.

Trust me on that one.

It's pretty simple task to remove the locking strip and reposition the gasket. I end up doing it about once per year it seems. I remove the locking strip just the top corners, and use plastic putty knifes to push the gasket back where I want it. It works best for me from the inside of the coach. Then I use soapy water and the tool to put the locking strip back in place.

Good luck on the gaskets, I do not know of a source for ready made.
