Over time I have seen them leak. The seals will wear out/ dry rot. Especially in direct sunlight all day!

How hard is it to replace the seals? Seems like a fairly simple job to me.....

Oh they are an extremely easy job to replace them, we sell TONS of weatherstripping here. The fact that they leak over time would definitely not be a deciding factor in whether or not to get them IMO! I was just agreeing with them that they will eventually leak
