My passenger door creeks anytime there is chassis roll or flex such as turning up a steeper driveway (or turning down the same driveway). I get the same noise if I go over a speed bump with just one side of the car.

Is there a DIY adjustment for this or is this a dealer fix?

Is it the door or the rear fender? My rear passenger fender did the same thing. I fought everything, door, brake ducts etc until I found out that it was actually the fender creaking. Loosened up the bolts and took the palms of my hand to pull the fender away from the car near where the door, fender and upper area meet. I bet I only gained a 1/32 - 1/16, had the wife tighten up the bolts while I held in place. Problem solved.

cayenne, I have no idea if it is that. Are you talking about the external shell of the rear quarter panel or inside the wheel well, or where?

External fender, not the wheel well. There is a body panel gap from the door all the way to the rear hatch. This gap was so tight on mine it was rubbing... I don't have my car any longer, but if you have facetime, I would be happy to hop on the phone and show you what I did.
