If you acknowledge a noise on your car, you are right to be aware of it and take it seriously, although it is plausible that nothing critical will occur, it is also plausible that it is the symptom of a more critical repair. A noise that occurs in the trunk of your Opel Mokka X is thankfully more a sign of a small correction or repair, rather than a complicated 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. First we will see that this trunk noise on your Opel Mokka X 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 Opel Mokka X : Built up dirt that causes poor closing
>
We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Opel Mokka X generated by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, it is plausible that on a car 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 collects at the trunk gasket. This issue causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To verify if you are in this situation, open the trunk of your Opel Mokka X, check 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 Opel Mokka X 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 Opel Mokka X.
Noise in the trunk of my Opel Mokka X : 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 possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Opel Mokka X is very frequently connected to this issue. Several solutions are existing to you depending on the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that in some cases the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is sufficient 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 take off the cover that allows 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. Remember to verify the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after verifying the trunk of your Opel Mokka X closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the operation by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Opel Mokka X : Rivet following plate change in the trunk/ bumper
Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate change you were unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate. In fact, when a plate swap is made, to remove the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to put out 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 generate an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Opel Mokka X 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 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 embarrassing situation, you will have to remove the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
