Agreed, but so far I have found 3 intact ones for driver and both rear doors. The passenger front was surprisingly in good shape the one time I had to get in there.

Having a sharp knife or box cutter helps a lot in removal, as does warm weather. Go slow. WD40 will melt the butyl sealant but it’s super-messy.
