I just noticed today, going over speed humps diagonally produced some squeaking and creaking from both my dashboard and rear trim.







Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it the sole pleasure of Accent owners...

I don't want to jump the gun and go MUST BE CHASSIS TWIST!!!1!







Googling around, it could possibly be the hatchback/rear glass rubbing against the body. I'm not sure that a commercially available, bolt in strut brace would help the problem. I think the answer is to search more exhaustively for the source of the noise, and go from there.

I have a rear strut brace. It makes more noise than without.
