the common fix is to get that clear vinyl tubing from Lowe's and run it through the inside of the weatherstripping with lots of soapy water...
I tried to find the thread, was a good write-up on it about a year ago...
seems like you need about 12 or 14' per door, but I can't remember..
easiest thing to do is take a weatherstrip off, and just lay it out and measure it..

I just did my X with the vinyl tubing. For 4 doors it took about 50 feet. Your looked like a ext cab so probably less, but for less than $20, nice simple fix to make sure and have extra. Oh yeah, it is a pain. Use plenty of lubricant, soapy water, wd40, or whatever you have. Remember whatever you use it will smell like that in the cab for a little while. I was able on a couple of the doors to push it around without taking off the stripping, but it is easier to take it off and push it through and then put it back in place.
