"Squawking" Super Cab Door Gaskets
I've had my '03 Super Cab into the dealer and had all four doors realigned a month ago. Now the doors (gaskets?) are squawking on roads with only minor surface imperfections, and forget about speed-bumps! (Yes Mil1ion, it goes away when I turn up the stereo)
I'm due for servicing soon, but would like to know if any of you have experienced this before I go back to the dealer.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks guys,
I forgot to mention the paint is being worn off the upper "latch pin" in the roof, and I'm thinking this might be a sign the latch is not closing properly.
I'll try the silicone spray tonight. That should give me a week or so before I plan on taking it in.
Seems a shame that I have to "grease" a truck that's less than four months old tho'

I think "greasing" the door gaskets is an on-going thing. In fact, my owners manual (non-Ford 
) has it as a maintenance item. I know it really helps with the supercab squeaks.

I used Door Ease.
It's a silicon based lubricant designed for door latches and pins. It comes in a stick (the packaging is blue and red) and looks kinda like wax. Just rub it onto all the weatherstripping.
I haven't had any squawking since I did this almost a year ago.

Most hardware or auto parts stores around here carry it. Canadian Tire, Parts Source, Auto Parts Plus, etc... WalMart might even carry, I'm not sure.
As for stores in SC, or the USA for that matter, I haven't the foggiest.

Theres that guy again ! dang smart ------'s
remove the doors like he said before !
Frame is flexing too much need to weld some stiffners on it !
let me see ! what else can be done ! turn the radio up! mount subwoofers in rear door so they rattle instead of squawk!
smear whale oil on the gaskets !
Superduty with no mods ! except gauges and plow
