Interior noise/squeak/chirp

I too have an annoying creak/squeak/rattle coming from somewhere in the hatch. I took apart all the inside trim, to no avail. I'm thinking it's coming from the passenger rear tailight or bumper fascia rubbing against something. It seems that if you push on it on the outside it makes a similar noise, while pushing against the rear bumper fascia on the driver's side seems solid with no noises. It's odd. A few others have had the same problem if you do a search. It's VERY annoying.

Mine ended up being the cargo cover. If it's extended there is no noise. If it's retracted, it chrips/squeaks when moving. Most definitely on the passenger side.

Just completed a 780 mile weekend road trip to the Shenandoah Valley Va. The Z performed well. Oil temp never rose above 220 degrees, even with some fairly agressive hill climbing in the mountains. The yellow color attracts a nice assortment of bugs both day and night. Recorded 25 mpg and identified the source of an annoying squeak. It is coming from the plastic molding passenger side rear, where the hatch rests when closed.
