Thanks James - I have some other ideas on things to do and will be posting them later. This is - supposedly - easy so thought I'd start here.

Noah, air is known to penetrate thru holes in the door and maybe the cowl and create noise -- do you have the mirror holes open or taped over?

The point re cabs was already made - the 3 of you who have tried to derail this thread might want to start your own on whether noise is worth trying to overcome.

Here is a pic of the front 'corner' seal in place. I cut off the curved tip of the plastic part as I could never figure out how it could possibly be matched to my car.*

It helped but there is still wind noise coming in from that area. I can push on the main rubber door deal with a finger inserted between the door and the dash area while driving and hear the change in noise. A dollar bill in that area meets some resistance but is pretty easy to pull thru (the gap at the front corner might be too small to really test with something as wide as a dollar bill anyway). The door already fits so tight against the seal in other areas that it is somewhat hard to close.

Note the use of dum-dum (strip calk) in the pic to seal some gaps that were still present. Maybe you don't need the Porsche plastic piece at all - I think you could just use dum-dum there.

I discovered that few parts store bozos -- I mean - employees - know what dum-dum is ... here is a pic if anyone ever needs to educate the sales force so they can sell it to you....

So I have some more tricks to try re sealing the door and will post them as I go in the future...

* -- I should add that my car is a 1973.5 BUT the window frames are not stock - they are chromed brass ones, from a targa IIRC. The idea was to get opening front vents instead of the perma-closed ones. In summer, the car needs all the ventilation it can get. All the rubber around the front vents is new ~~ 3 years old by now.
