Anyone else have this? is it one of the three hinges that are visible or inside the door? Taking the inside door panels off to access a squeaking hinge may introduce more problems.
BTW, I've had the CT for two months and all the complaints about the surface of the stainless steel seem to be non existent and I live right on the coast one mile from the Gulf. The truck has not been garaged.

We do/did. The SC 'fixed' it by putting gobs of grease on the closure latches. It did actually seem to help, the other rattle/squeak was coming from the mirror, that was fixed by (re)applying some felt between the mirror and door.

Mine squeaks drivers side only as you swing open door. Swing back and forth it squeaks. Very annoying. Not obvious where coming from to fix. Gobs of grease on latch is not the fix. As it’s not where sound comes from.

My drivers side door squeaks as well. I'm gonna try to apply grease as @AO-Pete mentioned earlier in this post to this part (circled) of the door, which is where the squeaks are coming from on my truck.

Is the the rear view mirror? Try loosening the bolts a bit to see if it continues.

I didn't think it was either, and god knows I'm unimpressed with the FW service center, but it solved the problem for us. Worth a shot. The headliner trim was also loose in ours, it wasn't making any noise, just bugged me that the drivers side was clearly lower than the passenger side when you feel along the leading edge, no doubt a bent trim clip somewhere.

Finger prints not a problem either. There was plenty of complaining about that. (could of been the haters) I like the way the SS surface just beads up and shines when washing with just a little blue dawn and water.

Was kidding. Been listening to complaints for a long time. Largely unfounded and/or not a big deal most of them.
