How to diagnosing Front window/door Wind Noise?

So I'm starting to hear wind noise from my driver door or window. I'm not sure how I can pinpoint where the noise is coming from ( I think it's coming from the left top corner of the window/door). It almost sounds like if I had my window opened about an inch but it's not.

I've tried cleaning my door seals with some 303 protectant but the wind noise still persits.

How can I tell if I have a bad seal from somewhere? And turning up the music is not an option so any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly anyone know the part number for the door seal and if it's easy to change out?

About wind noise...look into ordering some shin etsu grease from handaaccessories(dot)com to bring the seal back to your door seals. I found this helped a lot with killing the wind noise from highway driving. Also, you can take off your door panels and put on some 50 to 80 mil sound deadener (also will make the music sound better). That should help too.

Good luck!
Found the answer to my own question in another post. I'm going to try the shin etsu to see if I can get rid of the wind noise.
