Default how to fix a squeaky hatch?

When I drive the hatch squeaks like crazy. I usually turn up the music so that I don't hear it, but I was wondering if there was another way of fixing this type of problem. I had seen a post a while back put I tried searching but couldn't come up with anything. Any of you guys have this type of problem on your rex? I was planning to duck tape the whole back including the panels, but I don't really know if that is going to work or not. Give me some idea guys. thanks

Majority do, I haven't seen or even heard of a rex that doesn't. I'm immune to it now. One thing I tried (don't remember if it was successful or not) was putting electrical tape around the hook on the hatch.

the rubber dinkuses that spacethe hatch away from the body--adjust them out so the hatch is sealed but not resting on the seal.

alright I'll try taping around the hook. Is makes it rub so much? Is it the old weather stripping or something that makes it do this. And sorry if this is a repost.
