94 S-10 Blazer. Noticed that in the rear inside the vehicle there's
noticable squeek that gets worse as highway speeds are approached. Very
irritating on the highway. Around town, barely or doesn't do it at all. I
pulled the spare tire, spare tire retaining hardware, jack etc. out of the
vehicle. Still squeeking.

My daughter, as passenger, says it sound like the tailgate or rear window.
How do I find the squeek and fix it?

This is typical on the pre '95 blazers, it is where the rear window goes
into the tailgate when it latches. I used to put a little grease on it and
the squeaking would stop, the only problem is watch out for the top of your
head when you get in the back.

Agree with Adams Family - some thick grease (wheel bearing grease) on
the latch mechanism where the "pin" on the glass engages. I have to do
this on my 97 periodically.

yeah, this is a common problem on blazers or jimmys with the window that
opens upward, even the older ones did this, if you replace the entire hinge
assembly that usually fixes the problem. But yeah greese it up good and that
should take care of it.

Rear glass latch. They wear and allow the latch striker to squeak when
it moves. Easy fix that lasts, open glass. Spray upper hinges with a
good lube, then spray the latch with some to keep it moving free. Now go
and buy some brush on coating, sold as brush on electrical tape or
handle coating. Get a small can of it. Coat the striker (chrome metal
loop on glass) with a couple light coats. Let it harden up and enjoy a
squeak free drive.

For now, did the WD-40 spray to both latch and pin on the window and both
tailgate latches. Noise is gone. Did see wear on the window pin. Probably
the best solution is a heavy lithium grease.

Believe what you're talking about spray tape is called Scotch-cote. Its
meant to weather-proof electrical connections. If the material gives with
the latch striking the pin, and the material at that point rolls instead of
breaking, should work fine.

How about wrapping the striker with friction tape?

I've tried that before, either that or black tape, it just dont work for
long couple times of opening it, it wears off.
