Rear Right Cab Door Seal Leaks Very Bad, Sounds Like Door Is Open When Driving.  
I Live In Country, 4 Miles On Gravel Leaves Cab A Dust Mess.

Replace the seal. But you already knew this, didn’t you. Anything else?

Stand back a little and visually compare the closed-door’s margins (space between edge of door and body panel), leaking door to the other side. Notice any differences, e.g. wider gaps on the side that leaks?

Make sure the door latch is latching correctly. open the rear window all the way. close the door. then grab onto the door by the window opening and shake the door. if there is movement then it is not latching correctly. there should be no movement.
