rear hatch squeaks
rear hatch squeaks
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.

Re: rear hatch squeaks
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

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

Re: rear hatch squeaks
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.

Re: rear hatch squeaks
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!
