I would be lucky if this was my only problem, but this squeak comes back and its annoying. From my best guess it comes from the arm that supports the rear part of the sliding door,
I lubricate it thru the zerk fittings. I guess that works but it comes back, also put white grease on the pin at the rear, also on the track where to wheels sit at closed position.
I did the lube process and it didn't work this time, I am wondering if the door is rubbing on the frame somewhere.

So, in motion the door moves and makes that chirp, i go inside without opening the sliding door and to try to make it chirp and no, can't do it???

does this happen to anyone else? 95 g20 van

Could be, I might go round the door frame with some furniture polish, I like to use that stuff cause it cleans a little bit.
I looked again at the top rear rollers,, the top outside carriage that has a wheel and a guide in front that touches the rail,
So maybe that outside carriage was rubbing on the rail the wheel runs on, hope that makes sense.

Yeah, looks like it was my rear doors making the chirp, although I must say when I bounced down the road it sounded like something going up and down, so got all. I got all my jack tools tight, decided to put air in the spare and the valve stem broke off, got that fixed,

Solved the problem, moving the door anyway I could would not make the squeak, no matter what I did I couldn't point to it.,
So I took the outside covering off the small door part and the long one, the big one folds into the roof,
So when I pushed on the wheel carriage there was the sound, it was the springs and finger latch that had the squeak,
