@olugo3552; Check your factory roof rails; take them off and inspect the bolts for rust and rot where they bolt into the roof. I would also check your door seals and make sure they are not ripped or falling off,

@olugo3552; You can also try replacing your Passenger's side door seals.

@Gio; It's more for safety so you don't get hit by the fan blades than anything else;

It's also somewhat functional for cooling purposes, so, I guess the answer to your question is yes, it probably does help the air-flow to some degree.
