loud pop sound

Whenever I go over a bump of any sort, I hear a very loud plasticy pop over the passenger side dashboard. Anyone ever get this? It can be alarming at times, and overall sounds very cheap.

If it does it once and stops, it's the recirculating air flap closing for your a/c. If it does it repeatedly, especially if the AC is off, it's probably related to your front passenger spring perch.

Search for "loud pop" on the forum and you'll get several threads about this.

This happens to me as well, I just stopped caring especially since my lease is over in less than a year.

Yeah it's definitely that flap. Man it makes it sounds like a cheap POS car when it happens.
