The loud popping is a common noise the door stays make when a metal pin
is passed between two metal plates. If you have a Victoria British
catalog, the parts are on page 54 (right) and are numbered 16 and 17
including the rubber seal. The catalog shows a pin with a cotter clip to
fasten.
Mine actually just needed to be reattached to the door. It became
detached and was hidden inside the A post cavity.
