Noise at high speeds -new seals or weather stripping?

So I use my car on the highway a lot, averaging speeds of 80-85mph. I did notice that there's a lot of wind noise. Since my car is a 2002 w/ over 152k miles, I figured the door seals/weather stripping is probably old and needs replacing. But I've never done this. I searched acura's estore for weather and came up with a lot of various weather stripping and then they have a sub-seal, etc.

Any idea what part numbers I should be looking at, it's a bit confusing on Acura's estore. Is there an easier way to reduce the wind noise? Or are there other common causes that would cause wind noise?

Before you start ordering parts just make sure you know what the exact problem is, bc it might be window regulator going bad, misaligned window tracks or twisted gasket inside a track.

It could be the mirrors. The 01-02 had larger mirrors that would create more wind noise.

And no, you cant swap them.
