We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Citroen Jumper induced by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, it is plausible that on a vehicle 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 collects at the trunk gasket. This trouble causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To verify if you are in this circumstance, open the trunk of your Citroen Jumper, examine 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 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 alternatives. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Citroen Jumper is very often related to this trouble. Different solutions are existing to you according to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that sometimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is good enough to fix 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 take out the cover that allows 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. Remember to verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Citroen Jumper closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Citroen Jumper : Rivet following plate swap in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. In fact, when a plate replacement is done, to take out the old one the strategy used is to drill the existing rivets in order to release the license plate. Sadly, it can happen that part of the rivet falls into the hole of the bumper and it will therefore wander inside the bumper and can trigger an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Citroen Jumper linked to a rivet, you will need to verify that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to identify the noise. If this is your situation, you will have to remove the linings from the trunk to remove it. Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more unpleasant situation, you will have to take out the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
