Default Howdy from Aggieland

Recently acquired a beautiful 93 40th Anniv Ed; had it detailed and weather stripping separating at seams, some cracks at friction points. The car is ALL original (even the tires, had new Nitto's put on and kept originals, surprising how good they still looked but didn't trust them for driving over 30mph). I need to know if I can repair the weather stripping OR if replacing all of it is the best option. Any thoughts or experience is appreciated.
