Could be the rubber, or the windlace. Replacing the windlace helped the most. Not particularly difficult, but required buying new windlace and then sewing (I did it by hand) the plastic retrieved from the old windlace onto the new. Just use a stiff darning needle, heavy carpet thread, and sew the plastic on through the old holes. No more dangling fringe from the old. I think I got mine from VeteranProdukter AB.
The other culprit could be badly worn hinges, although I guess once the door is closed it doesn't sag as much as it could when open. This is more of a problem for the 2 door - longer cantilever, more weight at the end. I'm keeping my eye out for a set of good replacement hinges - ones that I can grease.
