I have the same problem. My driver's door has a small airleak at the top,
slightly behind the vertical bar for the vent window. I was thinking about
putting some cord or rope under the weatherstripping to raise it up a bit
and hopefully seal the airleak.

The doors do have an extra bit of weather stripping at the front of the
door - but the dealer wants $40 each for these small (about 1ft) strips of
weatherstripping.

I also have a leaky vent window by the front pivot hinge.

Lots of vendors have replacement door seals. I'd vote for replacing the
whole door seal.
