You can try to carefully bend the door by hand to get a better seal. My '99 has very worn hinges so it sags and there is a 8 inch long portion up top that doesnt quite seal. Very anmoying at highway speeds lol.

Check the top door hinge. On my driver side the hinge is beginning to separate from where it is welded to the Jeep and may fall off soon. I've seen it a few times on Cherokees. This is the cause of my door sag. May not be your problem but will only take a second to check and rule out.
