I put a Thule roof rack on my wagon a month or so ago and I have noticed that when we turn a corner or hit/go over bumps that it sounds like the roof is popping? Is this normal? what can I do to make it stop?

at an angle causes a loud popping noise from my roof. I checked the headliner to see if anything was loose but came up with nothing. This occasionally happens on sharp turns on uneven ground.
I recently lowered my car so now this is happening way too often.
I am a owner of a 2012 Toyota Camry LE with 18,000 miles on it. I am having a issue when I go over any bumps, or turning, I hear a popping noise coming from the right rear.

The issue: When this started out, it was barely noticeable and I attributed it to bad tires but now I have new tires and am not sure what's going on. As I turn a corner and accelerate, I feel this quick rumble go through the car; it's somewhat akin to very briefly running over rumble strips on the side of the freeway. It can also happen if I accelerate with moderate force.
One drive shaft was replaced a few thousand miles back but I didn't think it could be that as it doesn't do it at any particular speed or for a prolonged time. I thought it had something to do with the transmission or rear differential but searching didn't turn up much.
My game plan is to get the transmission fluid and filter changed asap. Is this a appropriate action or if I should be sourcing a new transmission ? I just don't know the severity of the issue and it worries me.
I purchased a 2012 Camry SE V6 end of December 2011. I really like the car's performance but have an annoying issue.
Above the driver's position, I hear short popping or cracking sounds when the car is moving and going over bumps or when the road twists. This sounds like a body structural issue and comes from the roof area to the left of the sunroof. This happens less often when it is sunny and more often when it is not sunny so the cooler metal may be the issue. The noise sometimes stops altogether when it is sunny or after the car has been driven for an hour. Once it sits for a couple of hours on an overcast day, the annoying pop/crack will start up again.
The door panel was replaced but the problem continued.
So my vehicle is 6 years old and the front edge of the roof panel is severely rusting from corner to corner. Warranty originally tried to pass it off as stone chips (lol) before I got an independent surveyor to inspect. He said there's no doubt it's a manufacturing fault and is rotting from the inside out. I went back to Hyundai with this appraisal letter to which they replied 'your anti perforation warranty only covers from the windows down so the roof isn't covered.

I have recently notice a single "pop" noise that seems to be coming from the rear when I turn right with a sharp turn.
I have looked in the trunk and under the vehicle but I cannot find where it is coming from.
Just purchased a 2000 V10 Limited with 117000 miles on it. Absolutely love it....just have a noise that is bugging the crap out of me. My husband doesn't think it is a big deal, but I would love to find out what it is without dropping 60 bucks at the dealer.
Whenever I turn a corner that is a tad bumpy it makes a bump type sound. It usually happens only when one side is going over the bump. It is pretty loud. IT will happen also when I am going down my dirt road without turning but when one tire goes over a bump the truck kind of shifts from side to side and the sound starts.
We have thought it could be the shocks or maybe the springs making that kind of sound. My husband is clueless and he knows alot about vehicles. I just hope my description wasn't too vague.
As it's gotten colder, I've noticed my roof interior seems to be popping/squeaking, like really cold plastic shifting - hard to explain but when it's warmer, say > 40, I don't have it at all.

View 33 RepliesTwo fixes: When raising the roof, stop it halfway. It reveals a round rubber bump stop that sits against the rear parcel shelf. The bumpstop can be adjusted by rotating it. If you raise the bump stop, it sits harder against the parcel shelf and reduces movement, thereby reducing noises. Also, lubricate all roof and boot (trunk) rubbers with glycerine (glycerol).

Have owned my 2008 GX470 for about 8 months now and love it. However, over the last month I have noticed the molding between the driver door and roof has been popping out. I don't know if there are clamps down in there that have fallen out or if the molding just needs to be clamped back in. Picture is below.
View 5 RepliesThe closest thread I found was this [URL] ..... The straight rod that goes into the windshield from the roof, on the passenger side, does look a bit worn. should i tape it up? I started having this problem recently. Never heard this noise the past.
My sc430 is giving a loud pop right over passenger's side from roof, whenever my car goes over a bump or rough road. I think it's where the front hardtop latches are. Only on the driver's side. It's a loud pop sound.
Does this have something to do with the latch, or latch motors, that closes the power roof ? Would it work if I tighten the retractable top by turning the rubber button in the center back of the car, the one that exposes during roof operation as outlined by other posters here?
Still brand new to the MKVI, just got a 4 door GTI, only 1,000 miles on it now, and I have a question. There is a very annoying noise coming from both of my b-pillars whenever I turn or hit some bumps. It sounds almost like flexing or creaking, as if pieces aren't on tight enough or something. Now normally this doesn't bug me too much (it IS a VW after all) BUT, I have never heard noises from my VW before when it was still basically brand new.
View 13 RepliesOk a week ago i noticed a popping noise when i would turn my steering wheel while the car was parked. It sounded and felt like it was coming from the drivers side.
Now a week later i have a weird constant whirring/growling noise coming from the drivers side wheel area. Which only stops when I stop completely or take a right hand turn.
So I think its a wheel bearing due to the fact it stops when I turn right, but thats why im here im not totally sure.
So, I now have just under 20,000 km on my Accent, and lately there have been some noises popping up. I'm wondering if they're normal or not.
1. At low speed or completely stopped, when I turn the wheel about halfway in either direction I hear a popping noise. It sounds like it's coming from the steering column, but I'm not completely sure. I just began noticing it a couple days ago. So far it only seems to happen after the engine has warmed up; doesn't happen right after a cold start.
2. After the engine has warmed up, I also hear a knocking noise coming from underneath the car. It happens only at low speeds or when stopped. It seems to be directly related to the engine RPM.
When it idles around ~700 it will knock once. If I keep it in neutral and press the gas, it'll knock again. Let it idle, knock. Apply gas, knock. It also happens when in gear. I think it's either the fuel or exhaust system. Maybe it's the sound of the in-tank fuel pump turning on and off? It sounds the same regardless of how much fuel is in the tank.
This has been going on for a couple months now, and there don't seem to be any ill effects related to it... yet.
3. This isn't a noise, but a smell. Since it's summer here now I've been using the A/C quite often. While it's running it's ok, but when I turn it off it smells like a wet basement for a while.
I'm thinking that maybe the evaporator isn't draining properly and mold is growing in there. If I turn the blower on high right after turning off the A/C sometimes little water droplets will come out. I should also mention that it's very humid here at this time of year.
My 2015 is making a strange noise most noticeable when making a slight right turn up a driveway. It sounds like a spring popping.
