Wind Noise Around The Rear Doors

Hi - just found this forum and I'm wondering if anybody has found a fix for my annoying problem.

Starting at around 50 MPH I hear a lot of wind noise around the rear doors near the top back corner. I have added some foam weatherstripping under the edge of the door, which didn't help. Putting electrical tape over the joint between the door and the bod decreased but didn't eliminate the noise (odd). I'm wondering if air is traveling through the gap between the top of the body and the front doors all the way from the corner of the windshield and and causing turbulence at the back doors.

Thoughts, anyone?

there is a comon problem with the seal on the rear edge of the window, it works its way down and causes a windnoise

Thanks for the info.

I found the seal on the right rear window down about an inch and on the left rear down about a half-inch. I pulled them up and will pay attention the next time I drive it (the wife is using it this week). I'll stick them in place with a spot of RTV the next chance I get.
