Can anyone identify what this squeak is?
 
This noise is something that has been plaguing my car, and I can't identify the source. I just watched this video:


and I can hear the exact same squeak throughout the whole thing. It almost sounds like a panel rubbing or vibrating somewhere inside the cabin, anyone dealt with this already and have some input?

First check the hatch struts.

hatch latch needs to be adjusted or replaced

If its the original hood latch system put a couple of wraps of black electricians tape around the hood part and see if it goes away! Worked on mine!

So many responses blaming the hatch, nice. I'll focus my attentions there!

The hood rests on 4 black rubber bumpers. Clean the points of contact and apply a small amount of silicone grease to each.

It's the LINGENFELTER decal on the right side.

worked for me too -- as well as some around where the pole/stand sits in its holder for a tighter fit (hood i mean)

I've had a major squeak problem in the hatch area for YEARS and I finally found last week what was the problem. I just put some lube in the hatch latch. That's it, simple as that.
