Wind noise in cabin

How is everyone doing?

Lately I've been noticing that i've been getting more wind noise entering in the cabin. Like a leak on the door seal or something when i am cruising on the highway... anyone know how to figure out if it is the door seal or the windshield seal or something?

I've inspected the door seals and they look fine to me...

I have manual windows, so often my rear window like to sag. I just have to snug the windows up every now and then. Just throwing that out there.

MTXR,

I am doing well! How are you?

I have a very similar issue as well. My dad has a 2000 corolla, with the same issue as Randy. I on the other hand have automatic windows in my prizm. What I have found is that the noise doesn't come from the window seals, but rather the door seals.

If you sit in the drivers seat, and stick your hand up in the top/back corner of where the door closes, you'll find it is kind of a weird design. There is maybe 3 inches of material from the door seal there. I'm actually in the process of trying to fix this. My solution is probably going to buy a thicker, black, sponge-like rubber, and just put it over the existing rubber seal. It will make the door close tighter hopefully eliminating the noise.

...I hear you though about it. I drive to school, and when I get on the freeway, it really sucks.......
