Default new weather stripping, USA made

Every since i installed new weather stripping on my '87 vette i can not get the wind whistle out of the side windows.
I have adjusted them in on top and have tried changing the tilt. I still have wind in the front corner and the top back edge where the rubber makes the twist transition from door to across the top.
Anyone else suffer this complication and how did you over come it, if you did.

A lot has to do with how dense you weatherstrip is....and your year model....which can make a difference.....because of improvements inside the doors on later year models....which is why the weatherstrip density can make a difference.

I have a windshield pillar weatherstrip at my shop that I show customers on what NOT to buy...or what I WILL NOT install.
