So, update again, regarding that rubber strip between rear window and trunk door...
Went to the dealership yesterday, they took another look and put teflon tape on the bottom side of the trunk door. They did it before too, but only on parts where door meets the big fat rubber. Now they put it also on the place where that strip meets the trunk door. They said that because of the shape of the strip and the door they touch only in corners, not on full length.
For now there are no squeaks, yesterday and today, after that "fix".
That's a place where unwanted noise comes from, for sure, because I had a cotton sheet in my trunk all the time, and before this fix, whenever squeaking started, I pulled over, put the sheet over that rubber strip and closed the trunk over the sheet. Squeaks stopped immediately.
I just hope this teflon tape will be long(ish) term solution. If you want pics I can take them and put them here.
