The popping noise is likely the tape sticking and releasing. This is what it was on mine. On the back side, not a big deal, however on the front side where it will have a huge amount of wind, it is.

That is why I used a syringe filled with silicone to get silicone under the tape where I had gaps. However, again mine was the Fly1 version, and mine did not line up with the body very well. So perhaps yours fits better.



I know how it sounds, as mentioned in my link above, it's why I used such a fine pointed syringe, you can't see any of the silicone when done. It's all under everything.



Don't feel bad, the fishing line idea didn't come up at first... I lost two bolts, three nuts before we came up with that plan. Worse yet, I was using stainless hardware so a magnet wouldn't help. Luckily at this point I've gotten everything back out so I'm now rattle free. Just waiting for a little warmer weather to put the interior panel back on. Don't like snapping plastic pieces back in when it's ~30 degrees out (It was 70 degrees out just the other week).
