Default Gobi Rack Squeak. suggestions?

Have the gobi Rack for my 4 door. Whenever it's cold the contact point at the rear driver side body squeaks non stop. I tried adjusting the mounting, adding grease, changing rubber mounts. No luck.
Has anyone ran in to this? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Can you isolate where exactly it is coming from?

Loosen, then re-tighten both the front bolts and the rear bolts. Mine squeaks a little at fridgid temps in the morning, but that's it.

Coming from the stationary rubber stops below the pivot point at the rear of the rack. All rubber is new within 3 months.
