Door seal?

This may sound pretty pickey to some of you but maybe someone will have an idea how to fix this problem once and for all. The 03 PSD that I traded for a month ago, every time I run it through the automatic car wash, the doors on the drivers side developes a squeak. Will not stop it unless I put a film of automatic transmission sealer on the door and frame seals. Good to go untill next wash job. Seems soft an pliable and does not leak a drop of water anytime. Only this set of doors are at fault, other side is just fine. Any ideas on how I could fine exactly where the problem is or what more could I do to elimate this problem showing up every time I wash it? For your info, the truck is past the 36k warranty period. Thanks

Step 1: Turn on stereo
Step 2: Rotate stereo volume **** clockwise until door no longer squeaks

My driver side door does the same thing. I may try moving the strike pin in a little bit to put some more pressure on the seal when its closed.

Trakman - no with my luck if we traded - we'd both end up with squeaks on both doors!

Pikachu - why do you think I put stacks on my truck?? To see if I could get the door squeaking to stop!!
