We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Hyundai Veloster caused 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 top priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt builds up at the trunk gasket. This issue causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To examine if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your Hyundai Veloster, verify the state of the gasket that runs 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 improvement. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution.

Second probability, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most likely alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Hyundai Veloster is very frequently linked to this issue. Several solutions are available to you depending on the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that sometimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is good enough to fix the trouble. 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 off the cover that will allow access to the lock (inside the trunk). Then, using torx screws, you unscrew the striker attached to the threshold, simply push it back a little towards the inside of the trunk and tighten it again. Don’t forget to examine the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after verifying the trunk of your Hyundai Veloster closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the procedure by pushing the striker less.

Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate change you were unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. Indeed, when a plate change is made, to take off the old one the strategy used is to drill the existing rivets in order to release the license plate. Unfortunately, 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 Hyundai Veloster linked to a rivet, you will need to examine that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to define the noise.

Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more problematic situation, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
