If you find out a noise on your automobile, you are right to be attentive of it and take it seriously, although it is plausible that nothing serious will happen, it is also plausible that it is the indication of a more significant fix. A noise that happens in the trunk of your Kia Carens is thankfully more a indicator of a small correction 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 problem. First we will see that this trunk noise on your Kia Carens can come from built up dirt, the problem can also come from a loose lock and finally, it can even come from a simple rivet that sits inside your bumper.
Noise in the trunk Kia Carens : Built up dirt that causes poor closing

We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Kia Carens caused by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. 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 Kia Carens, verify 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 improvement. 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 Kia Carens that is connected to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this content on the noises at the back of a Kia Carens.
Noise in the trunk of my Kia Carens : Loose lock, clicking noise
Second probability, you may also, over time, experience a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most potential alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Kia Carens is very frequently connected to this problem. Some solutions are existing to you depending on the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that oftentimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism 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 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. Be sure you verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Kia Carens closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the procedure by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Kia Carens : 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 at the rear of 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 put out 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 generate an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Kia Carens 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 remove the linings from the trunk to remove it. Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more problematic case, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
