Usually these types of body creaks occur because there are minor defects between the panels due to welding splatter or overspray from the painting process. If you don't separate the panels, the lubricant won't be able to get where it needs to be. Also, often separating the panels is what fixes the noise, lubricant is simply for extra insurance.
