If you detect a noise on your automobile, you are right to be attentive of it and take it seriously, although it is plausible that nothing critical will results, it is also plausible that it is the signal of a more critical fix. A noise that occurs in the trunk of your Nissan Versa is fortunately more a sign of a small adjustment or repair, rather than a complex one. To support you in your research, we have chosen to write this content to present you with the most likely solutions to your issue. First we will see that this trunk noise on your Nissan Versa can come from built up dirt, the issue 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 Nissan Versa : Accumulated dirt that causes poor closing
>
We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Nissan Versa triggered 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 priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt builds up at the trunk gasket. This issue causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your Nissan Versa, check 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. 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 Nissan Versa that is related to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to read this content on the noises at the back of a Nissan Versa.
Noise in the trunk of my Nissan Versa : Loose lock, clicking noise
Second probability, you may also, over time, be the victim of 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 Nissan Versa is very frequently related to this issue. Different solutions are existing to you depending on 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 mechanism with thick grease is good enough to resolve 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 strip off the cover that will allow 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 check the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your Nissan Versa closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the operation by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Nissan Versa : Rivet following plate swap in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. Indeed, when a plate replacement is made, to remove the old one the process used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to release 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 induce an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Nissan Versa linked to a rivet, you will need to check that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to distinguish the noise. If this is your situation, 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 problematic situation, you will have to remove the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
