Default CrewCab Rear Door Creak

I was just wondering if anyone has a creak when opening their rear doors. I have a 2009 Crewcab, and when I open either rear door it sounds like a dry door hinge. It is being caused by the weatherstrip rubbing on the B-pillar. It's leaving a tell tale black streak. My dealer says they dont know how to fix it. Any ideas? It's embarassing opening the rear doors when in public.

my weatherstripping does that too. just push it back in place and it will be good for a few more times. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd glue it in place.

Ditto on mine, but only on the driver's side.

Talked to the dealer about this. He pointed out that they could not reproduce the creak unless they wet the weather stripping with a spray bottle. As I looked back on all the times the door creaked sit was either raining or I just washed the truck. so the sounds is just wet rubber against metal. As long as there is nothing mechanically wrong it doesn't bother me.

Why not try waxing the body and or cleaning the rubber with armorall or something similar to help it slide?
