Default Need help with Z trouble.

Hey guys, this might be a repost but i seriously need help on this annoying clicking noise coming from the rear passenger side tire. It sounds like loose change. I took it to the dealer two days ago, and they said they tightened all the bolts and the sound was gone. So I picked up the car, as soon as the tech was driving it to me I could hear it. I talked to my service rep., he said to drive it cause they could not duplicate the sound. So I told my rep. if one of the techs can ride with me and I will show him. And for sure enough it was there. They tried to find what was causing the problem but they couldn't. They said to bring it in another day, so they can spend time on it. Do any of you guys have this problem? If you do, can you tell me how to fix it. That way when I bring it back to the dealer I can point it out to them. Thanks guys.

I have what seems to be a 'chirping' or high pitched 'tinging' sound in that area. I have reason to believe it's something inside the hatch lid, but I haven't had time to remove the plastic to check it out. It's really annoying, so I usually have the windows down or radio up!

CHECK the spare tire and JACK... The jack could be a little loose, as it is held only with velcro.....
