Need direction rear wind noise

When I reach highway speeds 70-85 mph I get excessive wind noise from my rear doors. I know I have seen posts on how to fix the issue but I cannot seem to locate any of them. I checked all the FAQ. If someone could help me out solving this problem by posting a link or instructions on how to fix the problem I would appreciate it. And if it is in the FAQ and I am not seeing it please let me know where it is.

Thanks

I did this just today. Bought the weatherstrip at the hardware store for under $3.00. It only took a few minutes and worked great. One thing the instructions left out was you may have to pinch the cars weatherstrip back into shape before putting it back together. It was no problem. Just make sure you buy the light density weatherstrip. Ten feet did the front and rear doors with some left over. I'm doing my wifes 2K next. Here's the link to the instructions.

It went well, the car is much more quiet now. I haven't taken it on the highway yet. I did bring it up to about 90 on some backroads and it sounded great. It sounds like the windows are all the way up finally.
Definately the best $3.00 I've spent on the car so far.

This is the first thing I did to mine when i bought it. I was shocked to find my '03 far louder than my '97. But this did the trick. Glad it helped Derrick.

Thanks Housecor. Your page has been a big help.
I thought the same thing when I went from my 95 to my 02. Sounded like the ewar windows were cracked.
