rear hatch squeaks

[seboroth]

Hey guys, got an issue that I hope you guys can help me out on, I've also already searched, there isn't much on this topic. So my hatch squeaks when going over bumps and what not and I know its because of the upgraded suspension setup I have on the car. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out some rubber piece or maybe something like a outside hatch hold downs I've seen on drift cars ( such as ae86's and silvia's ) Or should I just live with it, let me know what you guys think out there. Thanks.

Mazda released a bulletin on that, I used to have the pdf's on how to fix it but i've switched computers since then a couple of times and lost the pdf, Ask Custommx3 about it he should be able to help you out

isn't it just adjusting the rear latch or wrapping tape around the latch to make it snug?

I atually just tightened mine and the squeak went away

love the pic lol, anyway I'll have to try that then. I put white lithium grease on the striker and it opens and closes better, I was having problems with that before. But I'll give that a whirl and see what happens.

mine was doing that for a while and i put some lithium grease in the latch and the noise was gone! It was really annoying. lol

OMG! I did that to mine and the creaking went away too! I thought it was my strut mounts making noise like they might have been loose! this should be a sticky!
