Air Leak Through Door

I always thought the wind noise above 65mph was from my targa top seals. As I just replaced the targa top, I now realized with the help of cold winter air that the air leak seems to be through the front seam of my drivers side door. (Maybe the passenger side too, but I haven't been able to check.)

I can feel air leaking in next to my leg through the door and I can also feel a bit coming in through the speaker grill.

I'm going to be replacing my door panels soon, so I will have them off and would like to figure out what seals are missing while I'm in there.

Any ideas why this would be.

There is the big seal that runs around the entire door opening They tend to flatten out over time. I've recently got new ones from our host to fit.

There are smaller round holes in the front portion of the door that need to be filled w/ round black plastic plugs.

There is a small clip like fitting that goes, I think, @ the base of the pillar between the vent and large windows.
