are you sure it is from the door, and not the trim on the side of the windshield? the reason I ask is that there is a TSB for wind noise, my 04 had it. cause wasn't the door, but the strip on the side of the windshield that would start vibrating with wind in certain directions, sounded like wind noise but it wasn't. the sound was amplified by the glass.
If it is loose, they apply VHB tape to it solved the problem. as the weatherstrip gets looser and looser, the noise keeps getting worse.
I swore it was wind noise from door weatherstriping, but after seeing the TSB and doing that, noise was GONE.
a bug deflector can make the noise worse, but it does happen without it as well.

Some customers may comment on noise coming from the windshield and door area.
Correction
Replace the left and right side windshield reveal molding. Refer to the Windshield Side Reveal Molding Replacement procedure in SI.
