Question squeaking in back...

i'm sure that at least a hand full of you guys have a squeaking sound coming from the back of your car. (come on... f-bodies) at first I thought it was the spare tire or jack but i still hear it with them out. anyone else know what it could be? hatch? exhaust? just a squeaking sound I hear from vibrations or bumps in the road.

check your rear hatch lock assembly. move it around manually to see if it squeaks. i had an irritating squeak coming from the inside rear of the car and thats what was cuasing the squeak. The tack welds break loose just check it out!
