If you identify a noise on your car, you are right to be attentive of it and take it seriously, although it is plausible that nothing major will happen, it is also plausible that it is the signal of a more important repair. A noise that happens in the trunk of your Jaguar E-Pace is thankfully more a signal of a small manipulation or repair, rather than a complicated one. To support you in your research, we have chosen to generate this article to present you with the most likely solutions to your problem. First we will see that this trunk noise on your Jaguar E-Pace can come from built up dirt, the problem can also come from a loose lock and finally, it can even come from a simple rivet that sits inside your bumper.
Noise in the trunk Jaguar E-Pace : Accumulated dirt that causes poor closing

We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Jaguar E-Pace triggered by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. Indeed, it is plausible that on a car 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 problem causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this situation, open the trunk of your Jaguar E-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 E-Pace that is linked to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to have a look to this article on the noises at the back of a Jaguar E-Pace.
Noise in the trunk of my Jaguar E-Pace : Loose lock, clicking noise
Second probability, you may also, over time, be the victim of a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most potential alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Jaguar E-Pace is very frequently linked to this problem. Some solutions are existing to you subject to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that quite often the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is good enough to resolve 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 case 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. Make sure to check the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Jaguar E-Pace closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Jaguar E-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 unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. Indeed, when a plate swap is made, to take out the old one the technique used is to drill the existing rivets in order 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 E-Pace linked to a rivet, you will need to check that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to identify the noise. If this is your situation, you will have to take out 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 take out the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
