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 problem 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 Honda CR V, verify 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 improvement.
