Door squeak driving me nuts

Hey guys, I tried searching, but didn't really come up with anything....

I have a chirp/squeak that occurs on every bump in the road. It sounds like it's coming from the door area around the seatbelt motor, but I cannot pinpoint it. Anyone figure this out?

That squeak may be the infamous hood hinge squeak. Search it and then inspect your hood hinge.

Wouldn't hurt to bust out some wd40 and start spraying hinges and what not

Turn the radio up. Should drowned out the squeak! Good luck in finding your squeak, You should lube every hinge. Even if it doesn't fix your problem at least your hinges will be in good shape.

There's a metal rod that is part of the door latch release (handles) that was rattling against my window glass. Might be something like that.
 

Also take a look if your door hinges are tight and adjust the door, maybe when the body is flexing the door is sqeeking against the rubber seal. perhaps even try wiping silicon/wd40 over the door seal and see if that cures it.
