I noticed on the rear X-Cab door seals, there is a hollow void like the main weather strip. I took what was left of the 3/8s vinyl tubeing from the "Door Seal, Wind & Road noise" mod, and inserted it into That void... truck is even More quiet.
Ford put some silicone tubeing in them, near the door latch area (got'a tell ya something ?). If anyone decides to do this addtional sealing, yul need to insert some from the top, and then the bottom. Took all of 5 minutes.
I cut a 45* angle on the leading end, slipped right in. No Soap.
Thought I'd pass it on....

11/01/05: In Home Depot yesterday, found some "Frost King" brand, 3/8 foam cording (Chinking) in the insulation section. 20 feet for $6.00.
I (really the wife) noticed that the doors where getting harder to close, now that weather is getting cooler.
Pulled the Vinyl out of the vertical door seals (as above), replaced it with the foam cording... Works great. Nice solid closure now. The foam is more plyable.
