Which padding is that? For the felt along the inside of the door trim I just bought some grey felt and cut it to fit. If you have door panels off you may also want to put sound deadening onto the inner side of the door skin. I painted the whole inside with the rust bullet paint as protectant and then applied sound deadening panels. There is also Lizard Skin paint that has some sound deadening qualities
I bought new panels for the doors from @alprada70. See here: https://oilsdesigngroup.com/product/door-and-rear-panels-set/
For the padding, I also used a good German felt as e9Leveque suggests.

I went synthetic…
When I cleaned up the window mechanisms I used an adhesive sound deadener inside the door, used a vapor varior from @alprada70 and then used a product from second skin audio called overkill foam.

Not sure exactly what it was. I will definitely take a look inside the bottom of the doors for rust. If I don't see any rust I will spray with cavity wax. Good call on the sound deadening material
what about using dynaliner inside the doors? adhesive backed foam - either 1/4" or 1/2". with everything out of the doors, it wouldn't be that hard.

In think it’s the metal trim piece?

That would be great but there is already a crack starting. Bending it back will surely make the crack worse. I'm looking for nice replacement.
