Strange creak

[HoosierJeeper]

Over the past few months, when ever I pull into a driveway or any other situation that flexes the vehicle, I get a creaking noise. I was washing it last week and I pushed on the lift gate glass, and it made that noise. Any thoughts? Thanks

I had the same thing with mine. I put some white grease on the latch on the window. I haven't had any noise for a couple of years now.

rear glass on weather seal? squeaks when body flexes against glass that doesn't?

Mine had a squeak and it came from the weatherstripping / glass. Wouldn't make the noise if the window was open is how I finally narrowed it down.
I used NAPA Sil-Glyde part number 765-1351 on mine and now use it on all the weatherstripping, works great. Its in a gel like form, comes in a tube and is for squeaking fan belts, trunk seals , weather stripping, disc brake pad squeal etc

Tried the white lithium grease on the latch last night, seems like that fixed it for now! I will keep that other stuff in mind though!

Thanks everyone.

I got that stuff and put it on, seemed to have an effect. How often do you apply it?

Every so often maybe 3 times a year,
just put it on and kind of work it in some then let the doors open seems to keep it more pliable ( the weatherstripping )
