They seem to be trying to blame my Nismo S-Tune spoiler for the squeak...the service mgr. mentioned downforce but I believe downforce would actually help the problem. He suggested I take it to the other dealer across town where I bought it (same ownership though) to have them look at the spoiler. It's not the spoiler as the squeak didn't start until the springs were replaced, which I told him that on Friday. I think they are just trying to pass the buck on to someone else. Like I said, there's nothing else in the service manuals for them to go by, so they don't have anything else to go by. I asked about putting the stock springs back on and he asked if I still had them, but I told him the shop kept them. So they are discarded and I would have to buy new ones...which isn't going to happen. It would be great to maybe start a new thread on the squeak so we can pinpoint where it's coming from. Perhaps we can find a DIY remedy for it.
rear hatch squeek has been documented and a thread started..... search
