Default Squeekie noise in the back cargo area

I was driving and I started to hear some squeakie noise in the cargo area. Driving on a not so smooth road it makes the squeak. Its highly annoying does any one have clue to what it could be? Thanks in advance

See if it's an easy fix, check the storage compartment(s) with the pop tabs making sure the panels are properly aligned... Than do the same with the one on the rear door and check the jack to make sure it's tightened...

I checked the jack door and it still makes the noise. I didnt check the side panels. Ill do that. It almost sounds like the leaf springs making the noise but its inside.

after many months I finally discovered the front end squeek on my championship edition. It was the bolts had come loose on the underneath steel rocker protection. the washer was squeeking when moving. Could it be that you have a loose bolt washer causing a squeek underneath.

I haven't had my jack in my 3 for over a year and a half because no matter how tight it was it clucked/squeaked. I do throw it in the back for long trips. I even ssprayed the bottom plate of the jack with rubberized coating to try to quiet it but no luck.

Try a little WD40 on the guide plate for the endgate. The contact between the metal and rubber may be causing your squeak over uneven terrain.
