[Healeys] bj8 window glass / door rubber seal

[Rich C]

I recently had exactly the same problem with the exterior rubber strip 
"grabbing" and curling the rubber when the glass was being wound down. I 
sprayed a small amount of silicone lube on my fingers and rubbed it onto the 
rubber. It wasn't enough to smear onto the glass and it immediately cured 
the problem.
