Default Door Wind Noise ???

I have regular wind noise from my driver's door, which I can stop by pulling the door closed tighter. Now, my passenger door is doing it intermittently. Pulling the door shut tighter also stops that door's wind noise.
Is there anyway to adjust the doors so they latch tighter ?

Hmm ... that's an idea. I am going out of town and will not have trial and error time. I will live with it for a while longer. Thanks.
I was hoping the door latch striker bolt could be adjusted.

If you loosen the star bolt that the door latches too you can adjust how tight the door closes. Tighten it too much and you'll have to slam your door harder. It's pretty easy, the mechanic did it in front of me in like 5 mins

Buy a Mechanic Stethoscope to accurately detect where the Leak is coming from..

Try Adjusting or Removing the Round Rubber Door Stopper.

In Japan, Most Japanese buy another new vehicle after 2-3yrs. 30k kilometers or 18k miles are already considered as High Milleage. When the Tire gets flat instead of replacing it they buy a new vehicle..
