Problem

Action

An itch noise coming from the rear compartment/decklid area caused by the backlight lace is part of the water management system. However, contact between the backlight lace and the decklight causes the itch.

•	Apply the anti-itch lube to the seal in order to reduce friction.

•	Apply anti-itch tape along the underside of the forward edge of the decklid inner in order to lessen the noise.

A creak noise coming from the rear end of the vehicle. The noise can sound like a stabilizer bar creak or fuel tank creak caused by the decklid fit-to-striker is too far rearward. This allows contact between the decklid and the striker reinforcement plate.

Adjust the decklid as needed.
