Rear bumper squeak....

Would someone please push on your rear bumper, passenger side and drivers side, and tell me if it squeaks? Mine squeaks like a mouse. Thanks.

Thanks, I guess it's just the nature of the beast to squeak.

I don't notice a squeak while driving, but there is some kind of noise (rattle?) coming from the hatch area.

when I wash and dry it I notice it the most it is the Styrofoam impact absorber rubbing on the urethane rear bumper

It only seems to squeak when you push on the bumper. I don't notice it squeaking when driving, there is a rattle back there somewhere however.
