i just take them out a couple of times a year and wash them and put them back with a little bit of vaseline rubbed into the rubber to keep them supple.

I've taken all mine out, (well a couple were missing anyway)
I wondered why my osr door often had a puddle under it when I parked it at work, well that door did have a grommet fitted that was partially blocked so when it rained it didn't drain as quickly as the other rear door that didn't have a grommet.
seemed easier to remove them and the water out quickly rather than having it pool in the door.
