The Squeek is FIXED!!!
Foam to the Rescue...
The button clips are loose, and cause some of the vibration as they don't pull the plastic close enough to the metal frame.
The other vibration is where the plastic joints come together as circled in the picture.
The thinner plastic that goes up towards the thrird brake light needs to be taken down too, and foam strategically placed.
It's not a science, just a trial and error till it's right.
I had the pieces down three times before I got it just right.
ENJOY!!!

Thanks radioman!! What was under those big blocks of foam, anything important??
Also, I see that they are all the same type of clips that are used on the other interior panels (I already went through ripping those out for my stereo install), so did you just start from one end and work your way to the other? Nothing to unscrew or take off before this panel?
Thanks for the pics too!

Nothing to Unscrew, just pull gently from the rear to the front. Some clips wanted to stay on the frame... use a pair of scissors as plyers to pull them out. Almost every plastic clip in my hatch / trunk area has foam in them now just like you saw in the pictures. I'll be doing the passenger door next!

that looks pretty nice, but do u think those big blocks of foam in the middle will help any? doesnt seem like any rubbing would occur there. Thanks for the pics!
