Odd problem
Need some ideas on where else to look on this one:
Driving to and from college today, I noticed a lot more road noise than I am accustomed to (almost enough to drown out my exhaust). I checked the weather stripping around all windows and the door seals to no avail. It wasnt horrifically windy today, so that cant account for it, and honestly, I'm stumped on this one.
Anywhere else I should pay attention to?
Funny how something stupid like this can be so hard to locate.

Grab yourself an 8x11 piece of paper. Open a door, stick the paper in between the door and the seal, close the door. Pull the paper around the seal. Anywhere it goes easily, you have an air leak.
If its just the top of the door frame, around the window, (very common....) open the door, put your knees against the door, just below the window frame, and pull in on the top of the door. Don't have to move it much to get it to seal up nice.
Before doing anything though... make sure you actually HAVE a problem....... I once looked for an air leak for about two hours. My six year old daughter (at the time) came out, asked what I was doing.... after I explained it to her, and took her for a ride, she said:
"Why don't you try closing the back window."
