to find squeaks I have also asked a friend to stand inside both trunks and jump up and down while I go around the car and listen for the sound.

This seems to be a lot better for the car compared to potentially bending metal pushing down on fenders and quarter panels and your friend can get a lot more suspension travel out of moving up and down in the trunks.by

BTW, I do this in my garage where grabbing on to a rafter is available for stabilization.

I use my fist to pound in the trunk for heat shield rattles. Makes them act up every time.
