On the door side, there are 3 areas (shown in the arrows). I just applied Vinylex to the door seal shown with red arrows. That's the part that actually contacts the Shadowline trim and causes the squeaks. You don't have to apply anything to the felt flocking or the larger main rubber door seal.

Hope that helps.
Doors have been creaking pretty badly lately. I found this ancient post and applied Krytox generously to the rubber seal which makes contact with the upper plastic trim as marked in the picture. Now everything is dead silent.

It's crazy expensive but as I understand comes OE recommended for quite a few brands.
