I've noticed a loud pop that seemed to be coming from the direction of the passenger's A-pillar. It could have been anywhere from the sun roof to the passenger's dash - it happens so rarely that I never expect it so I'm not prepared to track the exact origin.

IIRC it seems to happen when transitioning on/off an angled driveway or when taking a tight corner. The tone is deep enough that it sounds as if the body is flexing but I'm assuming that can't be the case.

That's EXACTLY what I get. I'm hoping it's just the shock for the GB, and the more I hear it, the more I think it is. When I first heard it a few weeks ago I thought it was the glass popping out of place or something. It sounds pretty serious, but I'm thinking that the shock is getting in a bind somehow, and then snapping into place. It's also possible that the heat is making it worse. I didn't start hearing this until it started getting hot here.
