We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Peugeot 806 induced by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, 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 collects at the trunk gasket. This issue triggers 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 Peugeot 806, 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 difference.

The first is that oftentimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is appropriate to eliminate 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 out the cover that enables 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. Don’t forget to check the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after verifying the trunk of your Peugeot 806 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the operation by pushing the striker less.
