We will therefore begin with a trunk noise on your Skoda Enyaq induced 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 main concern or that the roads used are not very clean that dirt accumulates at the trunk gasket. This problem causes a poor closure of the trunk and a noise that can sound like a crack. To examine if you are in this scenario, open the trunk of your Skoda Enyaq, check 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 possibility, you may also, over time, experience a locking system that became loose. And this is one of the most probably possibilities. Indeed, knowing a trunk noise on your Skoda Enyaq is very often 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 sometimes the offset is minimal and a simple greasing of the system with thick grease is good enough to fix 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 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. You should examine the centering of the striker in regards to the trunk lock. If after checking the trunk of your Skoda Enyaq closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the operation by pushing the striker less.

Finally, one of the last possibilities. It is that following a license plate swap you were unfortunate and that a piece of rivet fell behind your plate.
