We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Seat Arona generated 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 accumulates at the trunk gasket. This problem triggers a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To check if you are in this condition, open the trunk of your Seat Arona, examine 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 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, be the victim of a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most potential possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Seat Arona is very often connected to this problem. Some solutions are available to you according to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that occasionally the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the mechanism with thick grease is good enough 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 case you would have to remove the cover that allows 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. Be sure you check the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after checking the trunk of your Seat Arona closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, duplicate the procedure by pushing the striker less.

Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate change you were unlucky and that a piece of rivet fell at the rear of your plate.
