Wind Noise
My car has over 175,000 on it, and it'* almost 10 years old. It'* an old car, and things wear out.
When I'm on the freeway, or travelling at fairly high speeds ... speed > 50, there is a lot of wind noise. I actually start to get comments about it from people. It doesn't bother me, but I would like to fill in the gaps to make it quiet again.
What do I have to do? Do I have to change the weather stripping? How much work would this be?

You gotta find the leaks, first. Put your climate control on Economy, and turn the fan all the way up. Get out, and close the doors. Get your finger wet, and move it around all the doors/windows/sunroof. The pressure should be higher in the car after a couple minutes of this, and you should be able to find the leak. It'* most likely one of the front doors or the sunroof.
