I recently had this nasty squeak or creak coming from the rear trunk area when ever I'd go over bumps, brake or even turn, I took out the rear seatback and tightened the two bolts holding the rear seatback support brace, took her for a test drive and the squeak is gone, just thought I'd share.

This is a great find because previous posts had mentioned much harder ways to get rid of this noise.
