Showing Signs of Aging

Has anyone had a problem with the cushioning rubber which makes contact with the vertical part of the driver's side window... when I reach higher speeds I could hear the wind coming into the car and it doesnt sound very luxurious...

Could this be replaced easily? DIY?

my passenger door does this wierd thing where if my driver door is closed and all the windows are up, you really have to slam it to get it to shut. I think the problem is tied to the window catching the horizontal part of the window rubber because i often have to roll the passenger window down and then put it back up to stop a howling noise it makes because the window isnt flush. I'd like to get some new window stripping too because its embarassing to have a nice car with a door that doesnt shut correctly, especially on the passenger side.

The door can be adjusted for a proper fit.
