I'm trying to find ways to get rid of wind noise and when both driver/passenger doors are closed I can push on the window frame and there's some play. Is there a way to get a tighter fit with the car and door?

In the Nissan Altima, I could adjust the latch (?) that's on the frame and make the door fit tighter. I could adjust this only on the passenger doors but not the front doors.

it works it really does!
you might be able to try to adjust the hinges BUT if your door is straight from the fender and rear quarter than thats not the problem. the only problem is the top door frame is slightly bent outwards. very common for years and years of normal wear and tear from opening and closing the doors.
if your cars had the keys locked in the car before it tends to make it worse since they wedge a plastic piece between the door and body to get there rod thru the door to get in. or if someone tries to break into your car the same way... it just makes it worse.
