It's going to be hard to be serious on this thread but try and find out where it is coming in, use strips of paper to see where the gaps are.  If you can't adjust the door you can apply sealant to one surface and wrap the other with cling film and then close door until it sets. Or even cling film on the door and expanding spray foam on the frame but it spreads like mad and won't look pretty.

Thanks for the advice chaps ;D ;D ;D. I have seen somewhere that you can get some very thin hard rubber that you can run inside the orginal door rubbers but I cant think where you can get it from.

We use smoke machines at work, just be careful they get hot and if over used can leave a film of oily residue on all surfaces.
