Rubber meets the road.

Has anyone else had anything like what I'm about to tell happen?
I have a 2003 1 ton dually 4x4 with little over 20,000 miles on it, and seems that a lot areas that have rubber are falling apart.
Example both wind shield wipers are split and torn, the light on the center of the tail gate has a rubber seal around it and has completely fallen apart in pieces, the other day I open the passenger side door and the seal on the bottom of the door falls on the ground (the one that keeps mud and water from coming up into the cab). I keep wondering what's next?
Other than that the truck is good to do, know problems.
