We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your hyundai i10 triggered 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 main concern 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 verify if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your hyundai i10, verify 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 possibility, you may also, over time, experience a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most probably alternatives. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your hyundai i10 is very frequently linked to this trouble. Different solutions are available to you subject 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 system with thick grease is appropriate to solve 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 off the cover that allows 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 verify the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your hyundai i10 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the process 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. In fact, when a plate replacement is done, to take out the old one the technique used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to release the license plate.
