Default Trunk farts upon opening

It really does sound like it's farting. It only happens when I use the remote to open and the car has been sitting in the heat for a while.

Does something need to be lubricated (not a joke) or ajusted to remedy this problem?

It's the tension bars. They are rubbing against each other instead of against the styrofoam/rubber padding.

I put a little grease on the bars to solve the problem.
