Noise in the trunk Bmw Serie 5 : Accumulated dirt that triggers poor closing

We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Bmw Serie 5 induced 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 collects at the trunk gasket. This issue 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 Bmw Serie 5, check 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.

Second probability, you may also, over time, knowledge 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 Bmw Serie 5 is very often linked to this issue. 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 good enough 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 verify the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your Bmw Serie 5 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the process 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. Indeed, when a plate change is made, to take off the old one the process used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to released the license plate.

Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more disturbing situation, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
