Air Leaks

I have a 2k1 Civic with like 145,000 miles on it and i have some crazy air leaks with the drivers and passenger side doors. Is there anything i can do to stop the leaks? None of the rubber seal looks worn out. What should i do? Honda wants 155 bux a door to fix it and its all labor no parts involved... so what sould i do?

Several ways to fix air leaks:
Option #1. dollar bill, masking tape and several minutes of your time:
Rolldown your front windows. Slip the dollar bill between the door. Hold on to the bill from both ends and slide the dollar bill back and forth until you feel an area that is "soft". Once you find it, put a masking tape to mark the position and continue to look for soft area. Go back to your masking tape, slip some paper or cloth under the door moldings to help push up the seal against each other.

Option #2. Another way of locating an air leak is to use a steam blower. I find it useful if you have a steam cleaning machine. Same procedure as Option #1 above. Rolldown the windows. Point the steam between the moldings until you see steam come out from the other end. Then mark the location and continue. Go back to your masking tape, slip some paper or cloth under the door moldings to help push up the seal against each other.

turn your radio up so you dont hear them anymore. Most of the new civics have this problem, it isnt a big deal.
