Maybe last week that weather was much cooler caused some of the rubber seals to contract a bit. I have noticed this before.

It seems this week we will be back into 90 degree territory, keep an eye on it, it may just go away as the weather warms up.

If this is the case and the squeaks come back I suggest you lube all your rubber door seals with DuPont Krytox. Prior to applying it clean the rubber surfaces with Griot's Garage 11071 Rubber Prep. Do not use a silicone based cleaner on the rubber.

I did this with my car and all squeaks that I thought were in the cabin disappeared and it has been quiet for the past 10 months.

I will clean and reapply come time in December, or sooner if the squeaks come back.

Of course with the less than stellar roads we have here it could be something else that has loosened over time and finding it can be tricky.
