Nope-Never heard of that problem before. In fact, the door panels and the tie rods are the best part of the H2.

Here's the text from one post...

Both my O3 and my 05 had been plagued by cheap squeaky plastic door panels that bug the hell out of me. I did some research on this site and some people mentioned some updated clips. I took mine in for service 3 weeks ago to have these squeaks addressed. They applied about 2 inches of clear anti-noise tape where the panel edge meets the metal on the door. A week later they were squeaking again. In addition, they did not address the squeaks around the trim piece that is around the window buttons or the trim around pull handle (not the removable trim piece but the entire trim piece).

If you remove the panel, you will see these two trim pieces are attached and then melted on in a few areas. If you flex the panel, it squeaks where there is plastic to plastic contact. What I did was apply a medium viscosity super glue down inside all of these areas to stop the movement. You have to be careful because the glue can easily ooze out to the external areas of the panel. I also removed the door window switch gear and applied some small pieces of felt to the under side to tighten it up and stop it from moving all around. Also I wrapped some electrical tape around the whole unit and then popped it back into the trim bezel to further eliminate plastic to plastic contact. On all the edges of the panel, I attached electrical tape where it meets the door metal.

Now the panel is solid. You can hold the grab handle and pull it back and forth with no squeaks. You can rest your arm on it and also not have any squeaks.

If you do a seach for squeaks you should be able to find the thread.

I seem to recall someone placing the soft side of the velcro strip between the plastic parts to get rid of the noise. I know my driver door panel would squeak if i leaned my leg on it. Sometimes it would just take pushing on it to make it stop.

I have my '06 SUT in for some warranty work and decided to have them look at the squeaking door panels. Reponse: They can not add felt or anything behind the door panel because it may cause the clips to fit improperly. This could result in other damage to the door panel down the road that the dealer would be responsible for. Typical dealer response if you ask me.
