Rear bumper squeak....

cave vulture · 07-21-2009, 02:21 PM

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.

As does mine...

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

ejrives · 07-21-2009, 05:39 PM

yeah, mine does too

cave vulture · 07-21-2009, 06:16 PM

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

cave vulture · 07-21-2009, 08:49 PM

That is exactly what it sounds like, Styrofoam. Thanks.

Mine does it too

I wonder if you sprayed some wax in there if it would help

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.
