I changed all the weatherstripping and door rubber on both doors. I still get wind noise. Any suggestions? I have new door hinges to install too.

Can you isolate the wind noise area? Around door(s)? Windows? Is the door gap (rear edge) correct & even?
With new door seals the doors are usually hard to close due to the new seals not having been compressed over time.
A remote chance of finding an air gap: (You'll need a helper) In a darkened garage have your helper shine a BRIGHT flashlight around the door & window seals while you look on the outside for any trace of light, indicating a gap in the seal(s).
Hope this helps.

P.S. How's the new baby?

O.K. I'll have to try this. I have new door hinges to install first. I know it comes from the top of the window area. I have to roll the window down a little to make it stop. Baby is doing real good. If he would only sleep in his bed. He doesn't sleep all night yet. But he did real good last night though. Cruisin the Coast in Biloxi this weekend. Taking the car out there today for 5 day's. I'll be drooling more than my son does at all the classic's. I have the AOD in it now.
