well for me i open the door and try to manipulate the weatherstripping then close the door and try that untill it stops if it doesnt then you may have to replace it but i doubt it. I dont know where you can get it maybe oreillys or the dealership

are you sure your ttop is latched good?
that wind noise is what you hear just before the ttop disappears.

Try taking the top of the door panel off and messing with those felt covered guides along the top. I had the same problem and just pushed them towards the car a little more and the noise went away. Push them too far and your windows will bind and not go up all the way
