We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Dacia Logan caused by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. Indeed, 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 problem triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To verify if you are in this situation, open the trunk of your Dacia Logan, check 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 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 potential alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Dacia Logan is very frequently connected to this problem. Several solutions are existing 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 more than enough to resolve 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 out 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. Make sure to verify the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your Dacia Logan closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the procedure by pushing the striker less.

Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell behind your plate. Indeed, when a plate replacement is done, to take out the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets in order to released the license plate.
