Same here. But it has been making that noise since I picked it up from the dealer.

I think I'll take mine apart and see if I can patch it.

I may have fixed it! Thanks again @EOD Guy -- I was able to separate the lid in place, using only step #3 in your directions.
My lid always popped when pressure was applied towards the back where the plastic "Land Cruiser" lettering is. In this heat-wave it was even easier to reproduce.
My approach was to loosen the bottom two screws just a little, so the lid plastic does not buckle under pressure on the metal cross piece and has more play. Not sure if this will come back under cooler temperatures, but for now it works! It also gives a piece of mind knowing that nothing is actually broken.

Good deal! After I'd taken mine apart, I got to thinking it would only require step 3.
I have a piece of thin (less than 1/16" thick)"closed cell" hard foam that I plan on placing between the two halves if my popping comes back.
