We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Renault Kangoo caused 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 top priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt builds up at the trunk gasket. This trouble causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this situation, open the trunk of your Renault Kangoo, examine 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 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 Renault Kangoo that is linked to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to consult this article on the noises at the back of a Renault Kangoo.

Second possibility, you may also, over time, knowledge a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most likely possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Renault Kangoo is very often linked to this trouble. Several solutions are existing to you subject to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that sometimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is enough to fix 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 case you would have to take out 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. Don’t forget to check the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after checking the trunk of your Renault Kangoo closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the procedure by pushing the striker less.

Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell backside your plate. Indeed, when a plate change is made, to take out the old one the procedure used is to drill the existing rivets to be able to released the license plate.
