Window/door seals and tinting

So right now I'm in the process of building a 385 and finding a T56/3.73 posi rear. In the meantime I thought I'd try and fix a couple things.

The tinting in my 92 Firebird is really old and falling apart. I also have a couple small leaks, 1 on each window. These leaks have sort of contributed to the falling apart in the tint. I would like to replace all of the tinting soon but I'm scared to put fresh tint in and have it ruined by water.

My question is, before I redo the tinting, what all parts are there in the window/door seals that I could go ahead and replace to ensure no water leaks in and also I don't hear wind through the window while going down the road? Is there any full kits for this? I tried looking online but I couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

We carry all of the weatherstrip for your 92 Pontiac Firebird. I'll include a link to it below. Usually tint starts to degrade over the years. It probably just got damaged from wear and tear more than anything.

The window sweeps I have are new. I had to replace those because the originals were in horrible condition. So is this what I'm going to be looking for:

I'm just trying to reseal the doors and windows all over. It looks like that kit even has a rear hatch seal. I'm sure the rear hatch seal is original so replacing that might be worth it while I'm at it.
