We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Renault Kangoo 2 caused 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 priority or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt collects at the trunk gasket. This problem triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To examine if you are in this condition, open the trunk of your Renault Kangoo 2, 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.

In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Renault Kangoo 2 is very often connected to this problem. 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 appropriate to eliminate 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 case you would have to strip off the cover that enables access to the lock (inside the trunk).

Remember to examine the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your Renault Kangoo 2 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the process by pushing the striker less.
