I would replace everything except the vent seal. Unless it is damaged, ripped burnt or turn I’d leave it alone. They quality of those vent seals is great. The new seals require a lot of work to replace them and are a bitch to get them to seal properly. Ask me how I know.
    The other parts are a 20 minute job to replace if you stop and have an Iced Tea along the way.

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.
