Window Seal... with a Twist

We've all read the "window seal" problems that seem to plaque us.... However, I was wondering how much we "need" the seal. My outside "inner" seal (touching the window on the outside) has ripped halfway off on the driver's side and has detached about in the middle of the window on the passenger's side. Should I just rip off the rest of the driver's side window seal that's damaged... or leave the half that's there and try to silicon the rest. The passenger side has completely baffled me as to what route to take. Thanks for the help in advance...

Dan

From what I understand, there's another seal below that one... in case your comment was sarcastic... not all who troll this board are imbeciles.
