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 accumulates at the trunk gasket. This problem causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To examine if you are in this circumstance, open the trunk of your Nissan NV, 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.
