We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your seat ibiza generated 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 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 seat ibiza, 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 improvement. If this is not the case, continue to the other hypotheses that will probably give a solution.

Second possibility, you may also, over time, encounter a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most likely possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your seat ibiza is very frequently relating to this problem. Several solutions are available to you according to the level of play you have with your lock. The first is that oftentimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is appropriate to fix 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 take out the cover that permits 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 examine the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after examining the trunk of your seat ibiza closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, replicate the process 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 backside your plate. Indeed, when a plate swap is done, to take off the old one the strategy used is to drill the existing rivets in order to put out 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.
