Cold air comin through the door handle
I went on a mission today to find where the heck the cold air comes from. I can feel it blowing on me while driving... come to find out its coming in through the door handle. Didn't used to do that before..... Anyone have any experience with this?

I don't have the problem, But it sounds like the adhesive tape that holds the plastic over the service hole, has let lose. Take the door panel off and check to see if this is the problem.

Every vehicle I've ever owned does this.
The plastic liner behind the door panel has to be pierced by the linkage for the door handle/latch. This never seals 100% and gets worse over time. Try a bit of soft foam padding, works like a charm.
