it comes from the back side of the car, and when the road condition is bad, it squeeks more...i can't figure out where but it seems to be coming from the trunk cover.....i think i should use some WD40 or something....

I had squeeks in the back also (before my A service) it would squeek when I applied pressure to the back of the car. I complained at A service and they replaced something in the back (sorry can't remember what, sway something) and it's been fine ever since.
Hope this helps.

I'd just let the dealer look for it and fix it. That's what they are there for.....if you find the source of the sqeak and do a quick fix, like WD40, chances are it will come back as soon as the lube dries out. The dealer can actually do adjustments or replace parts to eliminate sqeaks.

after inflating my tires with more psi than recommended, the squeks have increased in my car exponentially. not only do i hear the rear squeek you're talking about, but also the aluminum trim in the front console is horrible. i don't know what the problem is and i don't want to waste my time driving to the dealer if they just say nothing's wrong. i know, i'm lazy...

A quick solution to check for bars
If it's the rear antisway bars, it's an easy temporary fix with silicone spray to see if that is the problem. (These are general instructions - haven't looked under the Coupe yet) Go under the rear of the car, look for the rear bar (goes all the way across the bottom of the car) that is usually attached to the suspension pieces next to each rear wheel, follow the bar and there should be a bushing (a rubber thingie) on each side. Spray that bushing with silicone and see if that stops it temporarily.
I . . .. just haven't had any problems (knock on wood) after 1k miles.

found the origin!!!
i have found the origin of the sound.....
it was coming from the p.roof's panel, when it's closed, i could touch the moving plastic parts that rattles to the frame......
i feel so secured now that i know where it's coming from!

yeah i had the same problem, went to the dealer and they fixed it right away. that panel roof has been giving people lots of trouble but i must admit its worth the hassel. i go into other cars and their sunroofs seem so small.
