    Anybody dealt with squeaking noises coming from what sounds like the top of the door, maybe the weather stripping? Both sides, but louder for me at drivers side.

    Usually only when going over uneven ground, almost like the whole cab is twisting a bit...

    Spray the whole thing down with PAM? Get used to it?

    Mine does that from time to time. Some rubber conditioner may help.

    I also had a squeak from the door panel. If I pushed on the forward upper corner when closed it would do it. I found one of the clips not in the hole.

    try the dollar bill test and see if your seal are loose and adjust your door accordingly. Adding pam or similar will just attract dirt.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    You might consider trying a food-grade silicon spray on the rubber.

    I tried several different solutions, including repeated cleaning, applying wax, silicone spray, frictionless tape, etc. and the creaking would always come back after a few weeks. Eventually I found a YouTube video of someone recommending Factory Team Silicone Differential Fluid (5000 cst) and, amazingly, the stuff worked! I apply it 1x per year and have been squeak free for the past 3 years. I figured I’d post this solution in the hope that I can help others avoid the frustration of trial and error with some of the other proposed solutions.
