Driver's door creaks when driving somewhere about 3/4 of the way up the window near the B pillar. I had my dealer look at it when they installed my aux in, but the advisor wrote it up as squeaky door hinges. They "identified" the non existent problem with the squeaky door hinges and resolved it by lubricating them.
Of course this did nothing to solve the creakying door (seals?) when driving.

I keep hearing about this issue but fortunately have not experienced.
5 months on the road with 5500 miles and no squeaks.
