Tackling the wind noise on my 1963 Imperial

Good afternoon fellow Imperialists

After a few weeks of replacing weather stripping and doing window adjustments, I finally gotten the Imperials interior pretty well sealed up. The wind noise is much less severe then before the adjustment. I do have three areas I would like to address a little more. 1. The very top where the front and rear door glass frames meet. There's a very small pinhole of light coming in and I'm sure that this can be remedied. I was thinking that I might make a sham to place behind the roof rail weatherstrip. That might close up the very small gap. Any other ideas?
2 and 3: they are a little more straightforward. It appears that I'm missing a piece of weather stripping below the C pillar where are the door and glass make contact. Does anyone have a photo of what these weather strips look like? Where can I find replacements? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

For Hard to find Weather strip you can try "Quirey Quality Design Co." They took over Gary Goers business a couple years ago.

Thanks for the replies. I will definitely check those places out. Does anyone know what to do about the very small gap at the top of the rear edge of the front door?

Maybe a piece of felt with a sticky side to it. It's not so much to stop the air, but to stop the noise.
