I rekcon try it out on warranty. My last car an Avalon had a squeck in the RHF door trim and it drove me bonkers. Got the dealership to test drive it, they picked up the sound and repacked the insulation- Problem solvered at no cost to me.
Dont dick around with just get it fixed under warranty.

I had this after they had to replace my window tinting. Because of the size of the trim, there is a metal U shaped clip in the centre of the door to prevent it from vibrating or moving. My squeak would happen when I turned the base up on the stereo. I pulled the trim securing points away (see enclosed clip from manual) and shone a torch inside to find the U clip was outside the door mounting point and rubbing against it. I pulled the door trim off and reset the clip inside the mount and the squeak was gone forever. If the trim has been off for any reason I bet they didn't remount it correctly...

I had my windows tinted and they obviously put my door back together correctly because there is no more squeak :)
