One of my doors squeaks annoyingly, but it's the weather stripping up top that does it. I just put up with it because if I don't I'll probably screw up the seal and end up with a puddle in the back seat.

Yeah had the same problem and it wasn't actually the door but the weather stripping on top. A little but interior dressing whatever you currently use will fix that problem.
I did the same thing and sprayed WD-40 and the squeak was still there WTF, after a careful examination i realized it wasn't actually the hinges like i thought

The top weather strip needs to be siliconed as the other folks have mentioned. That was one of my problems and it works. The other part squeaking was the part that goes into the door through a rubber boot that you will see there. Pull the boot off, and shoot some lithium grease onto the shaft that goes into the door, and also lube the hell out of the little roller wheels in there, mine were squeaking like hell. Lubricate the shaft and the rollers. That keeps mine quiet for a few months or so and then I need to do it again. Yeah, I also do the hinges.
