We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot 206 induced by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, 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 check if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your Peugeot 206 , examine 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 difference.

The first is that occasionally the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is appropriate to solve 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 off the cover that permits access to the lock (inside the trunk).

Make sure to check the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock.
