We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Buick Envision induced by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, 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 builds up at the trunk gasket. This issue triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this circumstance, open the trunk of your Buick Envision, examine 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 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 Buick Envision that is related to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this content page on the noises at the back of a Buick Envision.

Second probability, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most probably possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Buick Envision is very often related to this issue. Several solutions are available to you according to 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 mechanism with thick grease is enough to resolve 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 strip off 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. You should check the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your Buick Envision 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 at the rear of your plate. In fact, when a plate change is done, 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 problematic situation, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
