air blowing from drivers side door speaker

So my drivers side window wasn't working properly, I took the drivers side panel out fixed the window issue.
But once I put everything back together, I noticed that I had air from the outside blowing from the door speaker area.

I never really noticed it before because I drove the car in the summer/spring time, but now I drove it when its colder and its not comfortable to have cold air blowing into your legs

any idea on how to insulate that speaker area to prevent the outside air from blowing in? what product to use?

I believe the speaker size is 5 1/4 which I think is the correct size, the passenger side is fine, no air coming in

I'm going to keep an eye on the replies from those who know. I have cold air blowing in, but I also have old door seals. I believe that stopping the wind from getting into the door is going to be part of your solution. Sealing the speaker (now perhaps the easiest flow) is going to cause the wind in the door to escape elsewhere. Some combination of door hinge grommet, plastic barrier, new door seals... that's going to solve most if not all of the problem. Keep the wind out.

LADA... check if door plugs in the front and rear jams are in place. Without these, outside air can enter through door.
