Default Odd dash pop

I have this weird dash pop whenever I hit a bump or take the vette over uneven road. I have had the dash out of the car several times to fix things and to install the stereo. Has anyone had an issue similar than this? Is it the dash or could it be something under the hood?

Thanks all

I had a pop too. Sounded like it was coming from the dash, but turned out to be the head liner glue was releasing. Re-glued, and its fixed. Just a thought. h

Try grabbing a hold of each side of the hood, where it latches, and try moving it up and down.

ANY play in the hood latch will cause noises that you will swear are coming from the dash, but are really caused by the hood jumping up and down when you hit bumps.
