Grasshopper

What would be the cause of my hatch to squeak non stop. Kind of reminds me of a grasshopper lol. I have no idea where it's coming from. I remember seeing a rattle and squeak guide somewhere but I forget where it's at

shock as in suspension. I had some replaced and two months latter it was making noise. Sometimes they are defective.

+1 for the seat latch. When I bought my Z, I noticed that the previous owner stuffed paper towel pieces into the latch mechanism to kill the squeak, LOL. The paper has worn down, so it has started squeaking again, time to stuff some more back in there I guess.
