Annoying squeak

Ok I have been having this squeak in my drivers side door for a few weeks now and it just keeps getting worse. When I push hard against the door while driving it goes away but then as soon as I let off it comes back. It sounds like a plastic on rubber sound or maybe plastic on plastic. It is driving me absolutely insane!! I thought at first that it was coming from my seatbelt assembly but now since pushing on the door and making it stop I know it must be something with the door.

Anybody have any clue what I can adjust to stop this noise? I really don't want to have to bring it in to my dealer for a stupid squeak but I think I'm going to have to before I decide to sell my car over a squeak!<ul><li><a href="http://www.cardomain.com/id/saidude2">Check it out...</a></li></ul>

Rub down the rubber with 903 or other protectant.

Do you mean 303? It rocks. I recommend buying a gallon, you'll use it over time.

Thanks for that, I'm on the edge of sanity with a squeak too.

So if I rub down the rubber with this stuff it will cure my squeak? Cool I'll order some in the next day or so.

Here's my underhood after a maintenance session

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1018/a8_powerplant.jpg"></center><p>303 is great because it treats/protects, but isn't sticky. When I did my plugs and filters, I really cleaned and 303'd my engine compartment covers, hoses, headlight housings, etc.

If you tried to do this with Armorall, it would all instantly be covered with grit/dust.
