Door seal rubber blocks
Hi Lappy, Ricardo is 'da man' that made the rubber blocks to reduce that annoying wind noise when the window is up on our early X's. Ricardo sent me two blocks when he was in the post-developmental stage with them, and I can assure you they do work!
You gotta take care fitting them, making sure you don't cut too much of the original rubber door weatherstrip away. Use a 'permanent' fix type adhesive to secure the blocks into the weatherstrip, and you are done!

here is the original post Lappy (yes i have a set for you)
Hi guys
This is my latest project, last month on e-bay I got one wheater-strip driver side, I asked about passenger side and nobody has any.
I made this project just for fun and improve my skills as sculptor, the target where create same part, but flip the image on my mind to re-create the passenger side water strip, i made first on plasteline (clay), after that I made one mould to have my hard copy on fiberglass, then refinish and do my original mould, after that and many test, many mess and several times ($$$) finally got my first set, I made both sides and kept my original on my spare parts box until find the other side. I hope you like it!

I have a set of these
...upper corner blocks that he made and I can say they are amazing!
And if you think that is impressive you should see that Saratoga top knockoff he made - it's better constructed than the real ones!
