Anyone getting strange "popping" noises inside the cabin? I don't know what the heck it is, but seem to hear it when first cranking up and moving. Like a stress noise or something. My best guess is that it is the huge sunroof/glass on the roof moving or something???- maybe the heat makes it move a little- I don't have a clue. Anyone else have any ideas? Just for clarification- I have an 06 LR3.

My Rover doesn't leak, so I'm assuming nothing's broken.

I have a 06 HSE and my glass is cracked, and still don't hear any noise... not sure what it could be, I'd suggest having the dealer drive it for a day, have them troubleshoot.

Yep, I've got those sounds. Had them since we got our 05. It drove the wife nuts when she had the vehicle and both times we took it to the dealer the sound would never reproduce itself. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the glass roof panel. It doesn't bother me too much, I might notice it a couple of times a week. I do have a leak somewhere but who knows if it is related to the popping noises or something else.
