Door squeak from touching the rubber drip strip...

Now that the weather is warm, everytime I open or close the front doors, it'll squeak. I narrowed it down to the door rubbing against the rubber drip strip along the A-pillar. Anyone know a permanent fix?

I just make sure I wipe the weather stripping down each time I wash the car. It seems to keep it from squeaking every time I close the door.
