Squeeking?
#12
Lets get some more description so we can properly hypothesize (sp?) this....
Does the sound pulsate? sqweek, sqweek, sqwwek , yes
Does the sound change pitch or speed with vehicle speed? no for pitch, yes for speed
It it a metal on metal sound? not really, it is a sqweek except when braking
Does the sound change with oscillation of the suspension? not at all
Do your rims get hot near the center after driving at speed? never checked...
Things we know:
Coming from the rear end.
Changes when brakes are applied.
and disspear when raining / Jeep wet

OK the fact that the squeek doesn't change with the speed of the vehicle indicates that it is not rotating with the wheels (ie: bearings, brakes etc).
Have you checked exhaust hangers?
Put your foot on the tailpipe and giver a shake....

Just edited the previous answer, I missed the speed factor, yes, sqweek speed is proportional to speed of vehicule, clearly is.

Try pulling the e-brake a notch or two while driving and see if it goes away

OK so it sounds like your cable needs an adjustment.
Maybe check between the disc and dust shield for debris next (and to make sure the dust shield isn't bent into the disc).
And between the pads, calipers and disc....
Don't forget to check the pads themselves for embedded debris.

The brakes were verified last week by the dealer, they removed the wheels and checked, unless you mean the inner "drum" of the ebrake, I think they're reluctant to opening that up, is it difficult to open and put back together after ?
