We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Nissan X-trail generated 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 main concern or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt accumulates 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 X-trail, 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 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 Nissan X-trail that is linked to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to consult this content on the noises at the back of a Nissan X-trail.

Second probability, you may also, over time, knowledge a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most probably alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Nissan X-trail is very often linked to this issue. Some solutions are existing to you according 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 trouble. 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 circumstance you would have to take 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 connection with the trunk lock. If after checking the trunk of your Nissan X-trail closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Nissan X-trail : 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 behind your plate. Indeed, when a plate swap is done, to remove the old one the technique used is to drill the existing rivets in order to released 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 trigger an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Nissan X-trail linked to a rivet, you will need to check that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to discern 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 problematic case, you will have to remove the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
