Hi many of us, will have suffered from shrinkage in our advancing years....
But if your door scraper seals have a gap between main window seal and lower moulded scraper and cabin windnoise has increased then very easy job to sort..
First check for gap....

Then gently remove the old lower seal, should pull out by hand..

Clean the groove slot on the door and give a dose of slippery stuff.. wd40,liquid soap ,furniture polish.

From moulded side( door lock) make sure gap is closed behind joint cover and gently push seal in about 20cm from end( near door hinge) stop and check measurement that the seal is too long or too short. Should go right into the corner.. use scissor to cut.

Push the end in first and force it past wing mirror corner plastic. Then push down remaining section.

Use trim tool or in my case a tee peg.. to get lip I to position.

Sorted.
