This is what I am getting on both side. I have been reading and there is all sorts of different thing people have tried and not a lot reporting back on what worked the best. So what works the best to fix this? 2 dr and have already changed the header for the metal one. I have tried to adjust my doors in and up to try and solve and didn't really do much. I also tried some rubber seal around the door contact area and but it didn't stop it all the way and blows off when doorless. Any help is appreciated

I'm assuming you have a soft top right? What solved my issue is replacing the foam on the door surround with thick foam weatherstripping from hardware store.

I had this issue and solved it by adjusting the seal on the actual door. The rubber stripping around the door was bent more towards the door so I heated it up and bent it more towards the jeep problem solved.
