Rear hatch squeaky 2003 Pathfinder

[Jvandyke13]

The back hatch of my pathfinder will squeak when going over any little bump. but for some reason it seems like if i slam the back hatch really hard then the squeak wont happen as much. Anyone have any ideas? could the rubber seals need to be replaced around the door?

I have the same squeak, have not found what it is or why its happening. Usually I drive with the music loud enough to not hear it but anytime im driving without loud music (parents in truck or having conversations) it bugs the s*** out of me!

haha try what i do and slam it. Literally though when i do slam it the squeak isnt there much, so i makes me want to say the rubber seal or something is making the squeak when not closed really really tight. hmmm..

ive got the fix for all

get yourself 7 dollars, go to oreillys get some automotive stick on weather strip

get the thicker of the two sizes

place one piece along the hatch where the metal is recessed all the way down, then place a strip next to it but on the glass

DONE rattle free.

did this yesterday and super happy

you dont go on many network type chat forums do you....

anyways

we ask for pics to get a better idea as to what you did. all i know right now is "you stick this rubber thing on truck and then you put another one over there next to the glass" ok....? youre trying to help but not helping at the same time so to speak.

Thread back from the dead lol

Hey does anybody else has a cure for the squeaky back?????
There is times i want to drive with out any music but the squeakiness is annoying.

You can try lubricating the hatch and door locks with white lithium grease. Try to clean any existing crud off with a degreaser and a rag.

I used some silicone spray on the little rubber bumpers and that stopped the squeak

Our 2006 Pathfinder LE was driving us crazy with the sounds of a cheap motel for the past few years. It was especially bothersome when temps got below 55 degrees. I tried lubing every hinge, the latch assembly, slamming the rear hatch closed (more for me than anything else), replaced the liftgate struts, replaced the window weatherstripping, as well as the hatch weatherstripping, too. I rode in the back attempting to locate the noise, and when that failed, the wife road back there. All in vain (although that last one did have its advantages). Then I got the bright idea to leave the hatch slightly ajar while driving to see if the noise would go away. It did! Thinking about what the difference was open vs. closed, I happened on the rubber bumpers. Nissan part number 90815. There are 4 of them. One in each lower corner of the hatch, another about two-thirds of the way up the door on each side. According to web search on Nissan dealer sites they go for about a dollar each. Just to make sure that they were the problem (they did feel a bit aged), I had the idea of placing a piece of velcro - hooks and fuzzy part (about 3/4" square) at the contact point of each bumper. I removed the sticky covering from the "fuzzy" bit, attached that side to the body - kept the tape covering on the "hooks" part facing the hatch) I then went for a drive - no more squeaks! It now sounds solid as new. So the choice is: Do I replace the bumpers, or just replace the velcro pads every couple of years . . . decisions, decisions . . .

have the same problem and just bought the two little rubber bumper stops. But they were expensive. with shipping in total it cost me 25 dollars.
