Im not sure if yours is the same as mine but even when my window is up, there is a very small open space at the rear that wind always comes in. Plus water at the car wash. Of course my door is shut all of the way

you ever condition your weather seals with dielectric grease? It helped out on mine. With both wind noise and leaky window by the t-tops.

Most wind noise is caused by bad weatherstripping. Look for ripped pieces or pieces that are getting pinched around the door/window as well.

+1. Don't use vasoline! That'll make it worse.
