Squeaky Trunk Hinges When Cold?
I have noticed on my car that the trunk hinges squeak horribly when the temp drops below about 40 F. I seems like it is coming from all the plastic cladding around the goose necks but I am not sure. Has anyone had this problem, and have you had it fixed?
Just kinda annoying when your nice new car sounds like a 10 year old beater when you have to put something in the trunk...

Same problem here. If temprature drops below 2 or something the trunk sqeaks when you open it. Let me know if anyone of you guys fix this problem. I think I will have to visit dealer.

I should be a member of this discussion. I am experiencing squeaky sound currently, I guess, from the spring on the right side of the trunk good.
Just WD40 is the best solution? If so, I won't visit the dealer.
p.s. I am still missing the trunk door of VW Passat, which is my previous car. It opens softly and slowly and calmly. :-)
