Cold Draft in driver's door

Now that it's much cooler outside, I notice my left thigh remains cold even though the rest of the car is toasty inside. Putting my hand next to the door, I can feel a slight cool draft coming from the area of the hand-hold on the door. Anyone else notice this? Is there a fix?

Seems odd I should be noticing this in such a high-end car as the Acura. Even my ancient Volvo did not have cold drafts. Don't get me wrong; I love the TL but this seems inconsistent with the overall quality. Any thoughts or advice??

I noticed this in my 2G but realized the draft coming from the sunroof when it is tilted. It would pull a draft from the window control/arm rest area of the door. Closed it up, no draft.

^ Good point. Recirculate your air with the HVAC off and there should be no draft coming from the vents.

Does replacing the rubber seals around the door fix the issue with cold air coming thru the front and lower portion of the door, anyone?
