A noise that occurs in the trunk of your Jaguar F-Pace is fortunately more a sign of a small correction or repair, rather than a difficult one. To help you in your research, we have decided to compose this article to present you with the most likely solutions to your problem.

Noise in the trunk Jaguar F-Pace : Built up dirt that triggers poor closing

We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Jaguar F-Pace triggered by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, it is plausible that on a car that is already a few years old and whose cleaning is not always a main concern or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt collects at the trunk gasket. This problem triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To verify if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your Jaguar F-Pace, examine the condition 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 difference. 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 relating to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this article 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 probability, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most potential possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Jaguar F-Pace is very frequently relating to this problem. Some solutions are existing to you depending on the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that in some cases the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is enough to resolve the problem. 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 strip 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. Be sure you verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after checking the trunk of your Jaguar F-Pace closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the operation by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Jaguar F-Pace : Rivet following plate swap in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. In fact, when a plate swap is made, to take out the old one the technique used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to release 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 generate 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 specify 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 problematic situation, you will have to take out the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
