A noise that shows up in the trunk of your Hyundai Ix20 is thankfully more a indication of a small adjustment or service, rather than a difficult one. To support you in your research, we have chosen to generate this content to present you with the most likely solutions to your issue.

Noise in the trunk Hyundai Ix20 : Accumulated dirt that triggers poor closing

We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Hyundai Ix20 induced 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 main concern or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt accumulates at the trunk gasket. This issue triggers 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 Hyundai Ix20, examine 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. It is plausible however that you have a trunk noise on your Hyundai Ix20 that is linked to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this content on the noises at the back of a Hyundai Ix20.
Noise in the trunk of my Hyundai Ix20 : Loose lock, clicking noise
Second possibility, you may also, over time, knowledge a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most potential possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Hyundai Ix20 is very frequently linked to this issue. 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 enough to fix 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 permits 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. Don’t forget to verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Hyundai Ix20 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Hyundai Ix20 : Rivet following plate change in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate change you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell backside your plate. Indeed, when a plate swap is made, to take off the old one the technique used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to release the license plate. Unfortunately, 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 cause an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Hyundai Ix20 linked to a rivet, you will need to verify that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to define the noise. If this is your case, you will have to take out the linings from the trunk to remove it. Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more unpleasant case, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
