Hey there hdm,
You might start looking upstream for the source of the leak, like the door to cab seal or the flap type seal on the window opening where the glass comes up out of the door. The air's gotta be getting in from somewhere and those are the most likely spots. And often overlooked. Happy hunting.

For a quick and easy fix,I went to the hardware store and got some foam weathersealing. It's about 3/4 or1" square and 3' long. Cut off about 6" and stuffed it around the door handle. Works for me.

hdm48, I have the same problem in my truck. I only noticed it when we go hunting and the temperature drops down. Haven't gotten around to fixing it!

One of my door gaskets is coming apart. Where is the best place to get new ones?

Turn the blower up one notch. If I have the window cracked open, side or rear, I get that draft. Keepin the windows tight and upping the blower speed seems to keep it to reasonable amount.
