yea i have the same problem on my driver side window. i know you can readjust the window on the window mount, helps seal the window to the weatherstripping better, by taking off the door panel but i havent bothered with it yet since the car only comes out on weekends and nice days and it doesnt bother me too much. i think i just searched for it and there was a write up.

Check the t-top seal, it often gets rolled/folded due to careless/improper reinstallation of t-tops. This is most common.
You may have some noise anyway, these cars are muscle cars based on 1982 architecture, not tight *** Hondas. That said, mine is awfully tight when closing one door, but still is noisy at the door seals. You can adjust lots of **** if you know how. Consult an EXPERIENCED trim guy to see just how much you can improve the quietness and **** it up, all with the same tool.

Sounds normal.
If you drive in a rain storm, you'll see that the side mirrors create some nice vorticies against the glass towards the front of the door. (I've chalked this up to some of the noise.) The windows are also slanted in more than typical cars, so your ear is much closer to the glass. Put your ear the same distance from another car's window and you'll probably hear the same types of road noise.
