Is it from the inside or outside?  If from inside, it might be the
passanger seat. Mine began to make this *horrible* squeak (similar to
nails being dragged on blackboard). I figured it came from the seat
although I was never able to replicate it by pushing or pulling on the
seat in the garage. I removed the seat (just 4 screws) and replaced
it. Problem solved - it has never squeaked again. Be sure to tighten
them evenly, maybe that's what was causing the problem originally.
