If you find out a noise on your car, you are right to be concerned of it and take it seriously, although it is plausible that nothing critical will result, it is also plausible that it is the sign of a more significant fix. A noise that comes out in the trunk of your Renault Trafic 2 is thankfully more a indicator of a small manipulation or restoration, rather than a complex one. To help you in your research, we have chosen to generate this content page to present you with the most likely solutions to your problem. First we will see that this trunk noise on your Renault Trafic 2 can come from accumulated dirt, the problem can also come from a loose lock and finally, it can even come from a simple rivet that sits inside your bumper.
Noise in the trunk Renault Trafic 2 : Accumulated dirt that triggers poor closing
>
We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Renault Trafic 2 caused by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. Indeed, it is plausible that on a car 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 builds up 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 scenario, open the trunk of your Renault Trafic 2, verify the condition 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. 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 Trafic 2 that is connected to other origins such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to consult this content page on the noises at the back of a Renault Trafic 2.
Noise in the trunk of my Renault Trafic 2 : Loose lock, clicking noise
Second probability, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that has taken up some play. And this is one of the most likely alternatives. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Renault Trafic 2 is very often connected to this problem. Some solutions are existing to you depending on the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that sometimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is sufficient 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 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 verify the centering of the striker in connection with the trunk lock. If after checking the trunk of your Renault Trafic 2 closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the procedure by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Renault Trafic 2 : 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 swap is done, to take out the old one the technique used is to drill the existing rivets in order to released 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 cause an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Renault Trafic 2 linked to a rivet, you will need to verify that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to specify 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 out the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
