Wind? noise over driver's door 850 1996

Not long after I got my 855 in Oct 2001, I began to notice something that sound like an air leak through the top of the driver's door seals or window seal, 35mph & higher. Have adjusted the door hinges& door latch, taped over all seams - one at a time until the whole door was taped shut; taped the window & gutter trims. The noise persists. The only time is goes away is after a heavy rain or thorough washing. Seems as though water gets in somewhere to seal something up, but this only "cures" the noise for a day or two at best. The noise does not exist on the passenger side. The car has never been wrecked. The whisper appears about 35 mph, becomes sucking sound at 50, and that's about it. Doesn't really get much louder, but is annoying. Any ideas, experience?? By the way, the window/gutter trim on passenger side is V70 type, driver's side is original.
