Joe,
You can get 'em cheaper just about anywhere. Dennis Carpenter, Autokrafters even JC Whitney. I guarantee you can redo both doors, gaskets, vent window seals scrapers and runs for less then the dealer wants for the one seal.

How to fix window seals?

You can go to a local junk yard and get the window chanel seals out of a newer truck and install them. The inner and outer seals are still available through ford for about 20.00 each, these seals are the ones that fit on the outer door shell and the inner door shell. But the one making the noise is the chanel seal.
