So at highwy speeds, cabin sounds like the windows are open.....NOT. It does not appear to be windows but mainly drivers door. The door frame seals themselves. They do not appear overly worn for their age and are not torn. From the outside I can push the aft side of the door inwards 1/8 in without that much force. If i want to move the latch point inwards do I adjust the latch bolts on the door or the rectangular hook on the frame. None may move since I haven't touched either...EVER. ..Thanks

So, finally had the time to adjust..easy enough. Two #50 torx screws. They were tight but not frozen or seized . Used a quarter inch drive ratchet and a bit holder. I thought the hook was 2 pieces that would move independently, no the entire plate moves up or down at least 1/4 inch in all directions. Its been unmoved forever so it left a good reference mark when I moved it inward maybe a 1/16 to 1/8 and tightened it back up. Way better...not silent but greatly reduced wind noise and there appears no issue with closing or latching door. So if your doors are wind noisy, try to move latch hook in a hair and see if it helps
