Whistling noise at high speed: side window gap

The side window on my '99 9-3 Convertible is missing the rubber window trim on the convertible top by about 1-2mm when the auto up stops. This tiny gap is causing whistling noise at speeds above about 60mph. I can reduce the noise by opening / rolling down the driver side window slightly (and widening the gap so as to avoid the high pitched wistle, which of course does not eliminate the noise). What's a good way to plug the tiny gap and eliminate the noise?
BTW, took the car to the snow-covered local soccer field this morning after opening gifts, to test the car's snow mobility (my primary snow car is the 9-5 wagon). The field was covered by 3-5" of snow, with some ice underneath. The car's snow ability and stopping performance was most impressive. Now wheel spin at all, and I could hardly get the car to skid.
