I'd probably try white lithium grease.

Silicon spray lube on the hinge, and multi use grease on the limiter bar thing.

Mine did that but they didn't squeak as much as they actually felt harder to close. Since my one year service was coming up soon, I had the dealership take care of it then.

Sounds like maybe a bunch of 2006s didn't get their doors greased properly. Hey, maybe the grease that gets on the windows when you roll them up and down was supposed to go on the hinges instead
