Default Common squeeks found in the rear of the car

I've already tightened the hatch bolts and tweaked the rubber stops. It's not the rear seat brackets and I've removed the spare tire.

What are some common things that I have not listed? TIA

take off your rear sway bar and grease the bushings up. I have heard that can cause some severe squeeking.

This is definitely inside the car. Thanks for your thoughts though.

Could be. There is a styrofoam piece that is located under the speaker. I'll check it tomorrow.

There is nothing else in the rear of the car on the inside. Just get a can of wd-40 and go at it. It might be two plastic pieces rubing against one another. Silicone anything that might be doing that. That stuff is awesome!

My rear DeCarbon shocks made noises like that right before I replaced them, FWIW.

you should check the side panels in the back, mine weren't tight and were rubbing causing a squeaking sound
