Examining 9-3 squeaks (sorry kina long)

I'm going to the dealer on 10th. Before that, I want to know exactly what are causing the squeaks in the hatch area.
I hated the squeaks while driving not so perfect NY streets with four egg shaped Viggen wheels, which I'm replacing tomorrow with a set of Gislaved. The two biggest contributors I found were the hinged back seat bottoms and the styrofoam holding the tools in the spare tire well. As suggested here, I wraped the wire tie thingy on the hinge not allowing sideway movement, and it's dead silent now and still functions perfectly. Why didn't Saab think of that? And, I placed some terry towels where the styrofoam piece meets the painted surface, and that noise is gone too.
Now, it got so much quieter even with my wobbly wheels and harsh Viggen shocks. But, a faint squeak still remains when the shocks bounce. Is it just impossible to silence that and I have to accept it? or Does anyone has totally quiet 9-3? I guess the faint squeak is coming from a shock itself, but I'm not sure. And, that's what I wanna know. What can it be? Also, does Viggen spoiler get loose easily? I think mine is and it sometimes tremble making some noise. Once those two are gone, I'd be really really happy with the ride.
Regards,
borami
