Default Wind noise is driving me crazy

Ok, I did a search and can't find any posts of similiar symptoms. I have been driving the car around enjoying it...except for a loud whistling noise coming from both doors/windows at 45mph and above. It is very difficult to isolate where it is coming from??? Doors and windows seem to close snugly. I guess I will just start replacing the expensive rubber, but I thought I would see if anyone else had this issue first.

first thing to check is the seal at the top of the windshield corners, there should be a piece about 5 inches long that is under the top corners you can get new rubber foam seal at ACE about 3/8 wide and about 3/8 hi, rubber sealing foam.
Cut to size then slide it under the corner trim with the sticky film window down.
Leave the paper on the foam till its in position then gently pull the paper backing off ( leave a small portion of backing hanging out so you can pull it off)
Clean window with alcohol first.
Next check the window inner seals that are inside the top of the window track , if they are dried out then you could replace them, also check the lower outer window seal these dry out as well, make sure that both of the plastic window guides are in place at the top front of the window opening, you may need to fill any gaps here with some silicone and let it set up B4 you close the window
