We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Renault Twingo caused by dirt accumulated on your joints, lock for example. In fact, 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 accumulates at the trunk gasket. This trouble 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 Twingo, verify 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 impact. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution.

Second probability, you may also, over time, knowledge a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most probably possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Renault Twingo is very often relating to this trouble. Some solutions are existing to you subject to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that quite often the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is appropriate to eliminate 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 circumstance you would have to take out the cover that will allow access to the lock (inside the trunk).

Remember to verify the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after looking at the trunk of your Renault Twingo closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the procedure by pushing the striker less.
