Door Squeaks
This is driving me crazy, sometimes it does it sometimes it does not , mainly when its cold outside u can hear it coming from the passanger door around were all the lock mechanism is, were all the rods and stuff like that is, i have sprayed white lithium grease around all the moving parts but it still doing all the noises, i have adjusted the windows so they are really nice and solid in all possitions but i just cant figure out were these noises are coming from inside the door, the door itself outside has a small rubber bump stop that meets with the body when the door is shut maybe that is whats causing the squeaks since its rubber agains metal but i doubt it since it sounds more like a metal squeak. Ill give the little rubber piece and the place were it meets the body a shot of white grease and see if that solves the problem.

Now like i said its prolly something around the area were the locks are and since it only does it while the door is closed i think it must be a binding issue between all the rubber isulation meeting with the metal body cuz it only appears to start squeaking when its cold outside, i live in florida so not really cold but just a little cold like around 65 degrees outside and it will start to squeak like crazy , the passenger side more than drivers. I really want to get rid of the noises cuz im selling the car and i dont want it to comeback when someone is test driving the car they would think its freaking falling appart.
Re: Door Squeaks
If your car has ttops, there is a metal ramp above the rear vent in the door jamb. This allows the gap to remain constant with body twisting and such. Under that ramp is a small plastic spacer. Remove the spacer and reinstall the metal piece. Check to see if this helps. It might be a sign that the door hinges are starting to sag and putting too much pressure on that metal plate.
