Squeaking coming from right rear....

I've got a 2018 with just a little over 5k miles on it and recently noticed a squeaking sound coming from the rear passenger side of the car. I did a search here, but haven't come up with a solution. I'm currently in Illinois and called up a local dealership who offered to have a look at it, but they don't sell Corvette's and I'm now leery of taking it there.

There's a bunch of stuff on the forum about squeaks coming from around the right rear speaker area. Interior clips and such. Mine usually just happened in cold weather. I found that just pushing up on the roof right behind that roof clamp, the noise goes away long enough.

Is the squeak from the inside or outside? Do you hear it more with the passenger window down or up?

If it's coming from outside the car, check out this thread => https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...uspension.html

Thanks. My sound is more of a squeak than a clanking sound. I'm hearing it at low speeds when I'm parking both in reverse and rolling forward.

Mine turned out to be the right rear speaker. It was replaced under warranty and has been quiet since. Key is find a dealership with Vette experience.

Thanks. Maybe I'll do just that.

I found today that I was able to duplicate the sound or squealing noise. I also noticed that I can hear it at a low rolling speed, but it's not always noticeable. When I put the gear into reverse is when I can hear the squeaking sound each and every time.

FWIW, I'm driving a M7.
