very good idea im def gonna try this.. both my windows hav just started makin the air sound ha.. soooooooo anoyin an as u said we dont hav to go deaf anymore wit the loud music.. very good hav to give a go! 
yeah, along the top and then down, both on top of the door and inside the window area?
I have just done this on my mk4 FR and I used some windscreen washer tubing that I bought from halfords a while ago!
I used the 4.7mm internal diameter pipe and it fits nice and snug in the gap, I must admit that the difference in wind noise is much better than what I expected!
This is a must do mod for anyone! Plus you can buy the pipe for £1.50 for 2.4M at the moment (bought some more today as I only had enough left to do one side), the 2.4M is more than enough to do both sides!

Just digging this thread up as am going to give this a go myself. Shame the pictures have vanished as I'm not quite sure where to put this rubber. Anyone got any pics?
I wouldn't mind seeing some of the photos on this as my mothers 57 Plate FR is the noisiest thing I've ever driven.
I've managed to get my hands on some rubber I can chop up so might have a bash later if it stops raining.
Creator and inventor here don't expect any miracles, but it defo helps, I dont use rubber anymore and instead bought some 5 to 7mm draft excluder foam which fits perfectly in the channel !
can get from most diy shops, most B&Q's sell it or flee bay

Thanks for the reply! I've had a go today and taken some pics which I will post later, I've not driven the car yet but think I have done it right.
pic away, and I will confirm if you have, basically i put it on the inside of the window channel and on the outside of the channel when you open the door up if that makes sense.
So we are talking about behind this fabric bit, the void in there.
I cut some rubber like this.
And pushed it in like this.
And this.
That's all I have done for now but I know the other part you mean that is only visible when the door is open.

Excellent! I will nip to wickes tomorrow and get some draft excluder I think as it will be easier to work with.
