 I contacted Healey Surgeons  and Inan replied;

"In our experience, it has been the problem with the weather stripping rather
than the door panel.  We have changed the weather stripping to the bristleflex
which has a smaller and softer rubber gasket.  I have also heard people talk
about slicing the rubber gasket so that instead of bunching up the rubber will
collapse and lay on top of itself."

The work continues: Replace vent window rubber(done),interior door panels,
aluminum door finishers, carpeting(outsource), new dash when I get my next
stimulus check!? Work in progress since 1967. Easier now with the great folks
on the Healey list!
