It's most likely the catch that holds the door shut, they need adjusting from time to time.

Take your spare wheel off and the squeak will probably disappear.
Suzuki bodies aren't the strongest out there and flex quite a bit.
Flex means gaps open and close and tend to make noise.

The spare tyre maybe rubbing on the door.

The hinges maybe dry

The locking mechanism maybe loose

Its your squeak, Find it! We can't find it over the internet!!!

Best bet is too piss them off completely before they strip out or rust and replace them with some nice stainless hex heads or allen key drive bolts.
