Thought I would necro this thread. A lot of the squeaks and rattles you might be hearing could very well be coming from the back seats and side bolsters. The way sounds echo in the touring, it's very hard to distinguish between the seats squeaking and the hatch. Do not adjust the hatch side pegs out too much, you risk cracking the metal they screw into. Good luck getting a replacement hatch...
I've pin pointed all of my squeaks and rattles to these points:
Items 5 and 6, these bolsters squeak a lot. Haven't quite figured out a solution, when I reinstall them the squeaks go away but come back after about a week. Perhaps some felt tape wrapped around the points where they make contact with the body?
The seat locking mechanism, number 8, where it locks onto the pin, number 16. There's quite a bit of gap in the locking mechanism, so the seat is free to move a couple of millimeters, and bounce on the pin and make a rattling sound.
