To support you in your research, we have chosen to produce this article to present you with the most likely solutions to your problem.

Noise in the trunk Peugeot 106 : Accumulated dirt that triggers poor closing

We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot 106 induced 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 problem triggers 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 Peugeot 106, check the state 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 Peugeot 106 that is linked to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to consult this article on the noises at the back of a Peugeot 106.
Noise in the trunk of my Peugeot 106 : 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 likely possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Peugeot 106 is very often linked to this problem. 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 more than enough to resolve 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 out the cover that enables 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. Remember to verify the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Peugeot 106 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Peugeot 106 : 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 take off 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 provoke an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Peugeot 106 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 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 take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
