Guys..
Originally I thought when i turned corners, and went over bumps, my back end would squeak, like a pretty bad sound.. i got a rear strt bar tightened that ***** and it subsided somewhat... my question is.. could it be the actual hatch? somwhere that its mounted, squeaking when the body flxes? anyone had this problem at all??

It's definately the hatch I think.. only when the body flexes.. turns.. or bumps..

If you don't like the Ghetto rig (electrical tape 
)you could also just move the latch down just a hair to make it close tighter, it adjusts just like the hood latch.
