Ever since we got our car, we have had a little problem with some of the seals. When you are driving at highway speeds, you get a little wind noise in the car. I cant seem to figure out if it is the window seal or the door seal, but I was just wondering if you guys had any advice for me! Thanks!
Its the seals..trust me on that one, mine are 14 years old and they are all getting replaced.
Have a look at yours, more then likely them, I can't see it being to expensive.

yeah check the rubber around the door frame when you open the door. is it pulling away from the car? when people put them on they stretch them and over years they tend to pull back some. i need to replace mine
anyone know where osme cheap weatherstripping is? or should i jsut go n ask some local shop?

Thanks! I just went out and looked over both both rear door seals (on the door frame), and they both seem to be in about the same general condition (they're fairly springy along the bottom and up the sides, but are a little flatter and less springy on the upper rear half of the door). The passenger door is where the noise is coming from.Assuming the wet finger treatment shows it'* the door frame and not the window that'* leaking, do you have any words of wisdom on fixing the air leak?
Thanks...
