sounds like I picked up a small bird. I can’t find the source of this.

- I’ve removed the rear privacy deck
- I’ve checked the DVD Nav area in the rear

any ideas?





 

My suggestions:

Under the shelf behind the driver's seat there is a styrofoam toolkit. Remove it, then go driving to see if that was it. If the squeak is gone, get some stick-on velcro and put the soft side on the styrofoam where it contacts the compartment.

Open the rear hatch and put some carmex on the rubber seals (one on the body and one attached to the glass). Spray some white lithium grease on its hinge points.

It might also be coming from the passenger seat or one of the interior trim panels. Hold the passenger seat forward with your hand while driving. If the squeak is gone, it's probably the seat hinge.

If not, try wiggling every trim piece you can get your hands on (just a very tiny bit) while stopped to see if you can find something that squeaks.

Edit: it could also be the latch on the rear hatch. Have someone wiggle the hatch from outside the car while you're sitting in it.

 

thank you! I’ll try all of this during the week and report back
