Squeaky noise from inside the cargo area

[moab JL]

Put some 3M Teflon tape along the upper edge of your tailgate that makes contact with your flip-up hatch rear-window’s rubber seals.

HOLY SMOKES!
It worked, No more squeaks. Simple to do and worth every penny.
Thank you for the info, pictures and link.

I get squeaks from the cargo area on occasion. I usually just turn the music up louder until I find a safe place to pull over to administer more chloroform.

I have the same rattle it is driving me insane it's like a tap tap tap.... when i go over uneven roads or vehicle goes side to side... just ordered the tape hopefully it solves my issue.

I have been hearing this squeaky noise/rubber rubbing each other like noise from the cargo area and it is very annoying. Brought it to the dealer and they greased all the rubber seals in the back. But it came back few days later.
Does anyone have same issue? I had JK before and never had this kind of problem.

Yes I do hear some squeek time to time but I honestly just ignore it . It is probably the way the hard top sits on the frame . It doesn't bother me a bit.

the tape I used is 3M 5430 0.5inch x15ft

In Canada we use exclusively the grey duct tape . Even in hospitals [ just kidding] . Yes , you can not survive in Canada without the very basic tool trio. Wire coat hanger, grey duct tape and an orange utility knife. Yes, it has to be orange.

I had a squeak in the cargo area every time I’d hit a bump. It was driving me insane. I put grease on the rubber part below the window and even 3m tape on the lip of the tailgate. Still squeaked! Finally got fed up and really investigated everything. The culprit....

Spare tire lugs weren’t tightened. I think the tire was rubbing against the rubber stop/guard. They were so loose I could tighten them by hand easily. Anyway- completely fixed the squeak! Just another solution in case the tailgate lip isn’t the problem.
