Is it actually coming from the hatch? I have seen another post remarking about the tail light sqeaking. When I wax the car, the rear bumper makes creaking noises as the bumper mashes/temporarily sticks against the substance behind it, foam maybe?

Yeah I've heard that squeak in the rear too, it's the bumper cover squeaking against the styrofoam beam that sits behind it (between the bumper cover and the hard parts of the car).

Well you know how rattles are.....I'm 90% certain it's from the hatch. This week I plan on getting back there and having my wife drive the car so I can hopefully pin it down. If I have any luck I'll let you know.

It's not the hatch..I thought the same thing. Look for my other post regarding the rattles. It's coming from the locking mechanism for the fuel door. It's located behind the right rear panel.

Since I insulated this, I've been rattle free.
