I haven't tried this yet but i'm sure it would work. Try taking the door apart and adjust the window so it goes up an extra 1 cm. that way when you roll up the window it is forced to push up against the rubber.

Wind noise? Turn the radio up!!!
I actually removed the rubber strip along the bottom of my doors. When I put the kit on the car was white, but there were black lines under each door, so I suffer with a LITTLE bit of a louder car which is still better than most!

Maybe you can fill the inside of the moulding with some type of material (maybe silicone). The moulding is hollow and when the door closes it is squeezed, but if the moulding is not elastic (old), it won't push back on the door with enough force to seal it. If there was some rubbery material inside of the molding, the moulding would push back against the door sealing it. You would have to make small holes in the moulding every few inches and then fill it. Just don't put too much or the door won't close easily.
I've never tried this, but it is just a thought.
