I will check the area you are mentioning.
I think the general cause of our wind and traffic noise is the front doors not closing tightly enough. Is it due to the seals itself or if they were badly installed or is it just bad alignment of the doors I don't know. All I am sure is noise which is more than acceptable is entering the cabin. Mirror gaskets may have lessened some of the wind noise I was having , but I still hear more noise than usual what my tires are making on a wet road for example.
Another thing I recently noticed while examining the front door is that there is a gap I can feel when from outside I press with my fingers the door frame at the B Pillar as doors are closed. I tried it with a Toyota Corolla, unlikely it is robust. I may be wrong but everytime I pay attention to the noise inside I feel it is coming from close to B pillar. I wonder if this is the cause.
