while driving i always here a creaking and crackling coming from the rear...

it hasn't bothered me before but always kept it in the back of my mind that i will fix it someday...well...

since i put in all the new audio equip its time to find this noise...

i took out the spare...no fix...
i unlocked the hatch...no fix...
i opened the hatch all the way and there it was...noise gone...

so at that point i lubed up the lock and hinges and cleaned the seal...locked the glass back down and no difference...

has anyone else had this issue? what can i do?

I'm gonna try to put some petroleum jelly around the seal and leave it a lil greasy to see if it helps soften it and seal better. I get the same lil rubbing noise in the back.

When mine was noisy all it was was that the whole latch mechanism was loose. I just tightened up the bolts. Get a latch from a junkyard and seeif it helps. It'll only cost a few bucks.

all the plastic.... what about the jack, the windshield wiper motor, and the bag for it, ect? is that all tightened down? Plastic tightened up?

that was the first i've done...tightened everything down...then took it all out to eliminate it from the possibilies...

its definately the hatch glass because if i leave it up it won't do it...but if the hatch glass is down it will do it...i'll check after work today in tightening the hinges...hopefully that'll be it
