Is it wind whistling? Drivers side window?

our cars are hooorrible when it comes to keeping wind noise down. the driver side door right where the mirror sits is where i have the most noise. weird, b/c it only happens on the drivers side, not the passengers. our windshield isn't great either. wind noise there's not much you can do to fix it but road noise is a different story.

Yeah, you can stick your finger in the gap between the seals near the mirror while going 60 or 70 mph and the noise goes away. I fixed it by painting a piece of wood black and sticking it in there Ghetto but no one can see it

eclipses do too and so does BMW but somehow they've figured out how to make it seem like you're sitting inside a sealed vault.

Can you be a little bit more specific regarding where the gap is? I'm having a hard time visualizing this for some reason. I'd like to implement this fix.
