For those with passenger and driver's side squeak.......

>>Sounds like the one I had........was there for 1 year "in my ear" and some days it disappeared.......took to the dealer for an oil change and mentioned it....they removed the door panel and added some insulation material in the top area of the door under the rubber part (which I lubricated from time to time with WD 40 to no avail) that is visible when you open the door...presto....gone for 1 month now...........common problem on both doors. If you pull your door with the inside handle ever so slightly toward you and the door squeaks...that's the one to fix in the manner described.......

I bet that is some sweet silence!

My squeak in the door turned out to be a cat toy!
