I bought EXACTLY what you need which are the scrubbers for each window. I am going to install tomorrow but FYI they(incl shipping) cost about 100 at the graveyard. The rest of the weatherstripping is in pretty good shape so I only ordered the scrubbers. I'll let you know how it goes...

OK, the progress update. Installed the scrubbers on the doors and it was surprisingly easy. Getting the old ones off took a little effortbut once you get one clip to release, the rest come off. I recommend that those installing new ones do NOT remove the door panel as it's not necessary. Got a little sidetracked and haven't done the ones on the tailgate yet but don't anticipate any problems. I also took advantage of the access that having the weatherstripping removed provided and lubed up the door lock mechanisms. With the inner scrubber removed, you have enough space to shoot some wd-40 and some spray lithium grease into the mechanism. It made a HUGE difference as mine is a little rusted and "screechy" during operation.
