I get air coming through both passenger and driver’s side inner door handles not to sure about the back doors, it gets god dam cold you get more air through the handles if you open a window. How can I resolve this and is it normal?

Remove the door card and seal all gaps that come through from the outside with silicone. that should work.

I thought about doing this but have the doors not already got a film behind them anyway?

If they haven't been touched they will have a plastic film inside the door card but this does not seal everything! I'm thinking that you should seal the outer handle and lock, the cable porting on the hingeside, and under the widows I'd stick some foam rubber to help where the window winds up and down. I once filled the doors of a cavalier with expandy foam filler greased and worked the locks like crazy while the stuff setted, couldn't open the windows but had no draughts or noise coming through the doors after that LOL:D
