A noisy rear hatch (squeaking or rattling) can be caused by several different things.
Over time, the hatch seals tend to dry out and shrink. As a result, the hatch does not fit as tightly and it can rattle or squeak. If so, this can often be corrected by adjusting the two posts on the rear hatch. To adjust the posts, loosen the lock nut next to the hatch. To tighten the post, turn it clockwise several turns and then tighten down the lock nut. Be careful not to tighten the post to much or the hatch will difficult to latch and unlatch.
Another possible cause is latch mechanism for the rear hatch. The latch mechanism needs to periodically lubricated. Use a good quality grease to lubricate the latch mechanisms on both sides. A combination of lubrication and adjusting the posts will often solve a squeaky hatch
Window Switch Repair
The majority of problems with window switches are the result of dirty contacts. Most of the time, the window switches can be disassembled, the contacts cleaned, and the switches reassembled and they'll function just like new switches. Sometimes however, the switches are worn to the point that the switches will not operate smoothly and they may have to be replaced. (I followed the directions and it fixed mine, now they work perfectly.)
The gear sfift rattle seems to bug alot of 944 owners, I've heard of a couple people even wedging a piece of cardboard inside the knob to stop the rattling.
Make sure the sunroof drain holes are not clogged. You can use some thick weedeater string to rod them out.
