Loud Squeak Noise Coming From The Rear:
its been going on for about 3 months now. but i would only remember to 'find it' while driving. well finally today it drove me nuts. i searched the whole interior, nothing. turns out its a f-ing lift gate. i opened the lift gate and thought it was the cheesy plastic molding on the door. its not the molding. its the darn lift gate strut/mount. after wiggling the lift gate it came from the left/driver side strut mount. ill spray some silicone oil (safe on plastics) on the strut itself and strut mounting, and the the lift gate mount. will see what happens. i also adjusted the rubber grommets to help seat the lift gate a little better.
just keep a heads up folks, that if you develop an annoying squeaking noise = its the lift gate.
PS: rattles in the lift gate: rattle in rear hatchback door
