We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot Rcz created 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 top priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt accumulates at the trunk gasket. This trouble 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 Rcz, verify 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 Peugeot Rcz that is connected to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to consult this content page on the noises at the back of a Peugeot Rcz.

Second probability, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most likely alternatives. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Peugeot Rcz is very frequently connected to this trouble. Some solutions are available to you subject to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that occasionally the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is sufficient to fix 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 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, simply push it back a little towards the inside of the trunk and tighten it again. Don’t forget to check the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Peugeot Rcz closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the operation 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 behind your plate. In fact, when a plate swap is done, to remove the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets in order to released the license plate.
