Assuming you know it's the door seal as opposed to some other low down seal it's not that big a deal. You should be able to get Mopar for under $100 a door but might could do better via a good local body shop. I don't know about your model year but I imagine it's the same as my 05 and similar to other vehicles I've worked on. Just pull all the trim that's in the way on and you will likely find that there is a spot under the threshold plate where the 2 ends of the seal come together; grab one end and gently peel the seal of the metal flange it's mounted to; reinstall is the reverse although you may need some silicone sealant or something similar where the butt ends meet. FYI at least on the 05 the seal over the top of the front and rear doors is screwed on; lift the edge and you can see the flange and the screw heads.

Note leaks can be caused by door hinges that are loose or not in proper adjustment. If that's the case I'd pay a body shop to do the fix as it's easy to mess up adjusting or replacing hinges.
