Squeaking noise from the back of the car.. WHAT IS IT? It's driving me insane! It's somewhere in the back of the car. I thought it may be the latch for the hatch, so i sprayed down WD40, also all in the area where the jack/spare tire is as well. Anyone ever run across this? Iv about decide to just start taking out carpet and everything and WD40ing the entire rear of the car... anywhere that metal is touching metal. But thats a lot of work, was hoping someone had run across this before and found out the cause of it.
Thanks
Thanks

I'll try putting the rear seat down as well, but it sounds like it's coming from further back than that.
Thanks for the suggestions

I have the same thing and I can't figure the damn thing out! Sounds like metal and we thought it was a exhaust clamp but checked everything under the car....everything was tight as can be. I checked the spoiler..tight there. Its annoying. Even when you close the hatch you hear it and it sounds like its coming from under the car. In fact I know it has to be because with the windows down I can hear it echo off buildings when I'm passing by one close or other cars

man.. i hope this isnt something happening underneath the car. I'll have to get a friend of mine to drive it while i explore the back of the car. I was wondering if it were possible for it to be something b/t the inside of the car and the tail lights.... but i dont think theres a lot of metal in there.

I recently had this happen to me. After taking the back interior of my car out twice, I finally had my dad drive my car with me sitting in the hatch (cause we swore up and down it was coming from there). Started to take it out a 3rd time, and while doing so I lightly kicked my exhaust tip and it made that clunking/squeaking noise. Turns out, a weld on an exhaust bracket had broken off, causing metal to metal contact. Welded back up and now I'm squeak free
