We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot 607 created 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 priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt accumulates at the trunk gasket. This trouble triggers 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 Peugeot 607, examine 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 difference. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution.

Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Peugeot 607 is very often linked to this trouble. Some solutions are available to you subject to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that oftentimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is enough 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 case you would have to remove the cover that will allow 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. Be sure you examine the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after looking at the trunk of your Peugeot 607 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 unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. Indeed, when a plate change is made, to take out the old one the process used is to drill the existing rivets in order to put out the license plate.

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.
