We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot Boxer generated 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 main concern or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt collects at the trunk gasket. This trouble 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 Peugeot Boxer, check 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 improvement. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution.

Second probability, you may also, over time, be the victim of a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most likely alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Peugeot Boxer is very often relating to this trouble. Different solutions are available to you depending on 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 solve 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 off 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 verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after looking at the trunk of your Peugeot Boxer closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the operation by pushing the striker less.

Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell behind your plate. Indeed, when a plate change is done, to take out the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to released the license plate.
