Well,

The hatches themselves squeak as they shift over uneven road.

The back hatch cover squaeks also. I dissassemble mine and lube with wd-40 and that works great, also pulls up better afterwards too.

Tighten all trim screws, the large plasticones and the small metal ones from before the hatch to the back.

Check your spare tire. Lots of stuff to rattle there.

Hatch pull down working? Busted one are loose and knock sometimes.

Under the car, all exhaust hangers good? Sway bar links not busted?

later

I noticed rattling in my back hatch, and it was the spare tire. I tightened the wing nut that holds it on there, and no more rattling. Might check there
