I've used this stuff & find its reasonably good and not that expensive, usually have to replace it every couple of years when it gets worn down.

We had the same problem and I found that there was cold air entering where the glass meets the frame. I used silicon sealant to seal it properly.

We had same problem. We tried new rubber seals but didnt help much, we replaced all the windows and doors for new pvc ones. don't forget that no matter how sealed your doors are there is still a vent in the corner of the room which lets draft and noise in.

Also depending on if your double doors are fitted properly, unlike ours which never closed properly until looked at again by a competent person..
