Wind Noise problem around doors

I have a 2007 Limited and am having issues with excessive wind noise around the front driver's and passenger's doors. It used to be when I heard the noise, if I put gentle pressure in the area of the noise., it would cease until I either opened a door and shut it, or rolled down and then back up a window. Now, I can't even get the noise to subside. I am wondering: is there an adjustment that needs to be made in the doors to solve this issue. If so, how does a person go about making that adjustment? Will I need to go to a repair shop to get this fixed? I would really appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

Thanks in advance!
 












In my case it was the door gasket that shrunk. I was able to pull some excess gasket from under the door threshold and work it around the frame till it was tight all around. no adhesive required.
 






I just addressed this. The window molding track was pulling away from the door on the rear of the door/window. I bought some 3M gasket repair they make for just this. It's like contact cement but it's black. You put it on both surfaces and then whey it gets tacky ( about one minute) the you push them together. To be safe I added a little tape to hold it in place for a little bit. One hour later I pulled the tape. So far holding tight.
No more noise on the driver's side window.
Air was getting in from behind the keypad plate that rides up the full window and getting around the whole gasket assembly.
