Sounds oily.
So far I only did this once and my car has been so silent ever since. It is well worth it

1) apply WD40 on a cloth and clean all your door seals both the ones on the door and the ones on the car body.
2) using the plastic straw that comes with the WD40 apply some between the rear seats and the parcel shelf
dont worry if you get some stains on the parcel shelf they soon dry out!!!
3) spray some WD40 under your seats. On the metal base that holds your seat in place.
4) apply some WD40 round the small vents on the dashbord that blow air on the side windows.
Then drive your car. You will not believe your ears.
Cheers and Merry Christmas to all

I can confirm on WD40 working.
I use that for a almost a year now. The thing is that it needs to be reapplied like every few months. But I don't mind. Still the only solution that works even better than visiting a dealer....
