Holden Barina 2002: Squeak in the rear?

I HAVE a 2002 XC Barina three-door which has been serviced regularly. I had the suspension checked recently because there was an annoying squeaky noise at the back, especially when driving over rough uneven surfaces. I was told by a Holden dealer that there was nothing wrong with the suspension and that I should have the car checked by a panel beater. The panel beater could hear the noise inside the car, but he could not locate or fix it. Do you have any suggestions?

APPLY some soapy water or some other form of lubrication to the seal the hatch closes on and see if that affects the noise. From your description it sounds as if the door might be moving on the rubber seal and causing the noise.
