We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Buick Enclave caused 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 priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt builds up 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 condition, open the trunk of your Buick Enclave, check the state 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 impact. 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 probably possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Buick Enclave is very often connected to this trouble. Some solutions are existing 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 sufficient to solve the problem. 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 permits 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. You should check the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your Buick Enclave 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 unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell backside your plate.
