What is causing this?!  Help before I go nuts.

Thanks in Advance!!

Kevin,
Below are some old posts I got from the list archives.  There have been many solutions to your "chirp" posted in the past.  Try them until you find the one that works for your situation.

Or, you could do what I do and take the plastic cover off the inside of the 
tailgate and adjust the latch retaining mechanism.  Toward the front and up a 
bit ( with tailgate down) will snug the window down.  Adjust in small 
increments.
Don't forget those bolts that secure the window to the hinges.  They 
loosen/distort the hinge and need to be tightened once in a while.
