Question Driver Side Wind Noise

I know they are Jeeps and the design is older, but does anybody have any ideas or fixes for highway wind noise? It seems to be mostly on my drivers side door. The seal looks normal, and there isn't many miles on this thing to have much worn out.

Just curious, thanks for your time.

The driver's door gets the most use and wear. Maybe the door is sagging alittle and not sealing. You could try moving the door striker in alittle and see if it helps. Replacing the worn door hinge pins and bushings might be "more correct" but alot more work.

this. mine is a 2 door so it sags ALOT. but what I ended up doing was putting more weather stripping around until I heard less noise, also putting silicone in the corners of the window guide helps.
