The hatch motor is probably going out or IS out. My 93 does, and my motor doesn't work, so it doesn't real down the hatch and keep it tight. Quite annoying, but nothing I'll drop the cash to fix since it's not needed.

Check the rubber pads at the corners of your hatch. They might be screwed in too far, so the hatch bounces around just enough to make noise.

Might not be the problem, but I know this has helped other people with hatch noises before.

Check the posts that the backseat hooks onto when it's folded up.
