Door SEals, Weather stripping??

Recently Ive noticed alot of excess wind noise coming inside the cabin of my car. It can be at low speeds or high speeds. Its almost like driving with the window down, but not actually down. And also since its gotten a little cold down here lately, my heater has to work overtime in a way to warm the car because of the extra outside air that seems to be coming in from the front driver or rear driver door. Ive noticed that other cars, seem to still be a little warm inside after being turned off, but my car interior gets cold immidiatly after turning off for a few minutes. Any suggestions?

Or find good ones at the junkyard and save yourself a bunch of money. First make sure that all your windows and sunroof are actually shut completely. The slightest crack at a window will depressurize the cabin.

I'm thinking it could most likely be the window run seal that are worn out and cracked after the countless times the window goes up/down and old age. When the regulator went out on my rear left window it ripped the seal as well and cause window noise after fixing the regulator. Replaced the seal and no noise. But I still have to fix the driver door window seal cause that one is cracked too and causing noise.

Some will use vasoline on the door seals to help if they're worn....I tried it once and it did ok but still needed seals...

I will investagate further, but my rear windows never come up all the way on one side, so I have to push them up the rest of the way.

+1 on junkyard. You can still find good door strips. I just finished pulling pretty much every peice of door rubber from around the doors and shipped to Russia. Still got a few peices that are in 80-90% shape.
