Default Wind Noise...Imagine That

I'm getting sick of the wind noise in my Mustang. I just replaced the door seals, hatch seal, sunroof seal (on car and on window) and the window seals and it barely helped at all! The wind is clearly coming in through the door seals - anybody have any ideas on how I could fix this? I've tried to figure out how to adjust the doors so they suck into the car more to compress the seal better but I can't figure out how. It's driving me nuts!

Does your door sag at all? When you open it and than go to close it do you feel like you have to lift it up at all while in the process of shutting the door?

Actually, I dont know what that would have to do with anything though because the door still closes in the same place right? The pins/bushings just help it not sag when opened? right or wrong?

It doesn't sag at all so I wonder if I should bother with that.

That's good advice. Almost as good as the advice that I start smoking to make use of my ashtray!

Nah, I found a better use for my ashtray. That's where I have my hidden nitrous switches.
