First update is I'm going with a different type of grease... same brand but I think a different viscosity. They might actually be identical, but the bottle itself advertises use for trunk seals and weather stripping vs specifically for brakes. So I'm erring on the side of caution and buying the more specific product which will arrive Friday.

Ordered some foam tape, will apply to the rubber trim and post my findings. Interesting thing is that I covered the entire trim in painter's tape and the squeaking sound was still very obvious.

Curious about this too...let me know if foam tape helps. Are you putting it only on that rubber piece at the top of the trunk opening?

I applied WD-40 but it only lasted a few days. And I needed to re-apply it after every wash.
I have since applied felt tape to the rubber and have not heard any noises since. I just don't know how long the felt tape will last and it doesn't stick to the rubber as well as it should... |

The speaker cover is rattling. Is this a DIY fix? How do I remove the center speaker cover?

Solution for center speaker rattle:
Cause: frequency of 175Hz causes the plastic grate to vibrate. The sound is created due to lack of silencing material around plastic contact points Solution: remove grate add silencing material to cover contact points.

My vehicle has a constant light rattling sound which seems to be originating from the center rear of the vehicle, somewhere near or around the rear speakers perhaps. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly. Sounds similar to what many on here are experiencing . Considering taking it in to dealership service department for them to look into it.

Confirmed on my side also the Sil-Glyde works perfectly. I used a dollar store toothbrush to apply it across the trim. In hindsight, I should have only applied it to the areas where it was rubbing, not the whole trim piece.... future project I suppose. But problem solved for now and no rattles.

Follow up: For more detail on discovering the source and the solution Discovery Process: Step 1: I downloaded a free frequency generator app from the App Store Step 2: Connected to the car via Bluetooth (connection via usb works, the goal is to play sound through the speaker) Step 3: music will automatically start playing - pause it and open the frequency generator app. Step 4: Turn vehicle volume to about 70%-75% of max. Step 5: start playing frequency beginning at 100Hz - 200Hz around 170Hz the center speaker cover will begin to vibrate. Solution: 1. Pop off the speaker cover (start by lifting at the corner, it will pop off fairly easy. 2. Place felt or cloth tape on the uppermost tab of the plastic cover (the tab that is closest to the windscreen) 3. Put the speaker cover back on, and you are good to go.
