First, I'd buy another Viggen in a second, for all the reasons stated here. I think it's one of the best performance bargains out there.
I found 2 simple things reduced the squeaks dramatically. First, put hook-side velcro around the lip where the rear tray sits. Second, search this board for a post by JC about how to fix a headliner squeak. There are styrofoam blocks above the rear passenger grab handles that rub against metal and make the entire headliner squeak - the best fix seems to be to put some felt above these blocks. I've also had some luck merely adjusting the screws holding the rear grab handles, either tighter or looser, although the squeak returned after a bit. Both these problems make the squeaks and rattles sound like they are coming from all around you.
Good luck.
Ben S.
