Will this window seal leak?

I believe this seal has shrunk overall and has caused it to pull from the corner. On another window I pushed it back into place but had to slide the seal up from the side of the window and now there is a gap at the bottom.
I am wondering if I should purchase new seals and replace the short ones?
Is this a major water intrusion area?

Why not test it? Spray some water on it with someone inside.

That's not a seal, merely a trim piece.

I can not see it, even blown up. You would need to have a closer up pic.

Those tend to shrink overtime on all RV - believe they are mostly cosmetic.

The glass itself should be sealed to the frame. If the glass is not properly sealed, it could leak. By design, the water that gets past the window bead pictured, should run out the weep holes at bottom, if they are not clogged with dirt. It is common for those seals to shrink. I wonder if they are factory stretched, to save a dime. I ordered a length of this seal/window beading, and just pieced it in on several windows, after pushing/shrinking to make a tight fit.

Probably not, especially being at the top but it wouldn't be hard to replace it.
