We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Nissan NV200 generated by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. Indeed, it is plausible that on a automobile that is already a few years old and whose cleaning is not always a priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt builds up at the trunk gasket. This problem causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To examine if you are in this condition, open the trunk of your Nissan NV200, check the state of the gasket that goes around the entire tailgate and clean it with a wet/soap cloth, dry the whole thing and try to close the trunk and take a dentred road to see the difference.
