Mk3 Annoying rattle/squeek from rear of inside

Can anyone help me. This is driving me up the wall, i have an annoying rattle /squeek coming from the back of my mk3 Supra. Its really bugging the hell out of me. I have made sure evry thing is tight in the back, eg. the plastics, the spare wheel, etc, but it seems to be getting worse. I noticed the left hand gas strutt for the boot lid squeeked a little but I am not convince that is the prob. Has anyone come across it?? Please. please help. And anyone know any good sites or dealers in Mk3 bodykits, its time to trick it up. Many thanks.
Russ

most likely the rubber stops for the rear hatch need to be replaced. they are the wedge shaped rubber pieces ( one on each side of the body) that the hatch rests on. they get old and hard and need replacement to bring things back into spec tolerances. removal is pretty easy - just two screws in each one but be prepared to fight with getting the screws out as they are coated with thread sealant like Locktite

good luck

Oooh, thanks. I will definatly try that. You may have saved me from reversing into a wall at high speed to sort the problem. Thanks for that.
