If you are really frugal, you can take the inner right and use it on the outer left and outer left on the inner right if you have an 88 or newer van.
I always grab the inners off of junkyard doors as they are usually in good shape and I am Thrifty.

My bias is if one seal was dry enough to split, others are probably not far behind. On the related question, the roll-ups can all be done without disassembly, but not the wing windows. Easy project.
