To help you in your research, we have chosen to compose this content to present you with the most likely solutions to your problem.

Noise in the trunk Toyota Verso : Built up dirt that triggers poor closing

We will therefore start with a trunk noise on your Toyota Verso caused 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 main concern 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 situation, open the trunk of your Toyota Verso, 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 impact. 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 Toyota Verso that is relating to other sources such as shock absorbers, do not hesitate to have a look to this content on the noises at the back of a Toyota Verso.
Noise in the trunk of my Toyota Verso : 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 possibilities. In fact, knowing a trunk noise on your Toyota Verso is very frequently relating to this problem. Several solutions are available to you depending on 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 mechanism with thick grease is more than enough to fix the problem. 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 strip off 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. Remember to check the centering of the striker in relation to the trunk lock. If after verifying the trunk of your Toyota Verso closes badly, it means that you have moved it too far, repeat the process by pushing the striker less.
Noise in my trunk Toyota Verso : 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 backside your plate. In fact, when a plate replacement is done, to take off the old one the process used is to drill the existing rivets in order to put out the license plate. Unfortunately, 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 induce an annoying noise. To check that it is this problem you are experiencing, and that you have a trunk noise on your Toyota Verso linked to a rivet, you will need to check that it is in the tailgate open it and stir it to define the noise. If this is your case, you will have to remove the linings from the trunk to remove it. Finally, if it is your bumper, it is in this rarer and more unpleasant case, you will have to take off the bumper to remove the bits of rivet that are running around.
