You can hear everything, including water splashing when it's raining, tire noise, wind noise, etc., usually starts at about 40 mph and gets louder from there. Not specifically the tires or wind, just general outside noise, like a window was left open.
I did notice that when you turn the fan on full blast and close the door, that air is coming out of both the door handles and that corner behind the mirror, but I put tape there and it barely made any difference. Any other suggestions?
BTW, the w/s has no obvious tears or broken spots, looks OK on all doors.

if this is the driver side only compare both sides,,,,then if necessary remove both inner door panels,,,compare that everything is the same...
when the door is closed how much can you push the door inward beyond its locked position...it should only be a very small amount compare to the passenger side..
