Default Wind noise driver seat

Anyone successfully take care of driver seat wind noise by replacing weather stripping or window trim? I've had the issue since I've owned the car and it did not go away after replacing weatherstripping on the door. Seen some solutions in the forums with spraying chemicals on the seals and even replacing door hinge. Tried taping all around the outer window with duct tape and noise did not go away. Any other thoughts on troubleshooting this issue?

Is the windshield wiper arm sitting slightly above the cowl? Also check the hard trim around the windows. On the trim at the top of the front windshield there was a small piece of clear that had delaminated. It was like a 1/8" curled piece but it generated enough wind noise to make me think the seal on the top part of the windshield was broken. Cut that small peeled section off and it was quiet again.

I think we just have to live with the noise at this point in the cars life. I would be surprised if the rubber around the window is not rock hard.

Tried replacing outer weather stripping, taped around outside of window and door frame and still had wind noise from directly behind left ear. Following the above thread by YODAONE solved my issue.
