Try holding the door lock button when you hear the squeaking. If it's an annoying high pitched "chirping" then it sounds like that is the cause. It is on mine !

  Try taking off the door card and see if any of the rods are touching together or the window mechanism is loose, that what it sounds like to me.

    Hope this helps,
                          Pete :y.

Adjust the door keeper on the B pillar.  The keeper is the bit the door lock closes onto.....

That's what I did when mine use to squeak, also closers and opens easier when adjusted properly.

My recent new purchase, the doors sqeeked like mad, though it was the door card.

Turned out to be the door locking pin, grease up the door lock area, the metal backet on the pillar, and the locking mecahism on the door.

Mine sqeeked like mad, but silent now!  :)

Thankyou.  I would send the cat in but he is deaf so wouldn't hear it anyway.... ;D
Dog is mad anyway.....

The squeaking does seem quieter when i put the window down slightly and   pull the door to me hard....but it i find it quite hard to drive like that!!

i will pass your suggestions on to my ever suffereing hubby.
