We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Jaguar F Pace generated by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. Indeed, it is plausible that on a vehicle 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 trouble causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To verify if you are in this situation, open the trunk of your Jaguar F Pace, verify the condition 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 impact. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution. It is plausible however that you have a trunk noise on your Jaguar F Pace that is connected to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to consult this content page on the noises at the back of a Jaguar F Pace.
Noise in the trunk of my Jaguar F Pace : Loose lock, clicking noise
Second possibility, you may also, over time, experience a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most likely possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Jaguar F Pace is very frequently connected to this trouble. Several solutions are existing to you according to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that occasionally the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is good enough to fix the issue. Secondly, it is also plausible that you really have a lot of play on your lock and that each time the trunk “jumps”, in which circumstance you would have to take out the cover that enables access to the lock (inside the trunk). Then, using torx screws, you unscrew the striker attached to the threshold, just push it back a little towards the inside of the trunk and tighten it again. Be sure you verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after verifying the trunk of your Jaguar F Pace closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Jaguar F Pace : Rivet following plate change in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate change you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell behind your plate. Indeed, when a plate swap is made, to remove the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to put out the license plate. Sadly, it can happen that part of the rivet falls into the hole of the bumper and it will therefore wander inside the bumper and can cause an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Jaguar F Pace linked to a rivet, you will need to verify that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to identify the noise. If this is your situation, you will have to remove the linings from the trunk to remove it. Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more embarrassing situation, you will have to remove the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
