We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot 4007 created by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, it is plausible that on a vehicle that is already a few years old and whose cleaning is not always a top priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt collects at the trunk gasket. This trouble triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this condition, open the trunk of your Peugeot 4007, 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.

Second probability, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most potential possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Peugeot 4007 is very often related to this trouble. Some solutions are available to you subject to 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 system with thick grease is enough to solve the issue. 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 strip 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. Make sure to check the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after checking out the trunk of your Peugeot 4007 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the procedure by pushing the striker less.
