If you detect a noise on your automobile, you are right to be attentive of it and take it seriously, although it is plausible that nothing serious will occur, it is also plausible that it is the sign of a more important repair. A noise that comes out in the trunk of your Tesla Model 3 is fortunately more a indicator of a small manipulation or fix, rather than a complicated one. To support you in your research, we have chosen to compose this content page to present you with the most likely solutions to your issue. First we will see that this trunk noise on your Tesla Model 3 can come from accumulated dirt, the issue 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 Tesla Model 3 : Built up dirt that triggers poor closing
>
We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Tesla Model 3 triggered 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 top priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt builds up at the trunk gasket. This issue triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your Tesla Model 3, 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 improvement. 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 Tesla Model 3 that is connected to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this content page on the noises at the back of a Tesla Model 3.
Noise in the trunk of my Tesla Model 3 : 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 possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Tesla Model 3 is very often connected to this issue. Different solutions are existing to you according 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 sufficient to resolve 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. Make sure to check the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Tesla Model 3 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Tesla Model 3 : 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 backside your plate. Indeed, when a plate replacement is made, to take out the old one the procedure 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 create an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Tesla Model 3 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 disturbing situation, you will have to take out the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
