Default What would this thing be called?

A little backgroun info:
At the monthly Atlanta AW meetup, Max-Y showed us this rubber strip he installed on the front most edge of the passenger doors(from an Infinity G35). It is supposed to reduce wind and road noises.

I found a part number, but it looks like the manufacturers p/n and not an Infinity/Nissan one (too short).

Anyway, a picture is worth 1000 words:

What would you call this thing? A door gasket? A rubber-lip sealy-noise-reducer strip?

Default How much wind noise is generated from the door gap on our cars?

Usually the windshield and mirrors are the common causes for wind noise. I don't think I've ever noticed the gap in the door casuing a problem. Maybe I'll tape it up and see if there's a difference.

Has the windshield been replaced? Can you try to isolate the sound? Try searching for suggestions.
