So driver side going over bumps plastic clacking sound
what it sounds like ...
I thought maybe seat but bang it nothing...
Then I thought the bungee going into side panel and taped it and still there..
My thinking now wonder if headliner where it sits on panel..
Any one having this issue...

That entire area is not put together well....I'm getting the same sound over bumps, but seems to be right dominant.....this car better rip after break in because my initial powertrain impressions are meh.
I take it you have the I4 ??? Took my I4 for 120 mile ride yesterday and wish my knees at 74 were better and just wish clutch in V6
was not so stiff.. I do miss shifting and hope that when 1000 miles is hear that putting in sport/Track Mode it sounds and feels
more sportier than Silent Mode...I am getting some serious mpg from it ...It sure is a beauty to look at nd draw attention

It's the slowest 400bhp car I've ever driven (take that as you like).
But I still love it!
 
I found this on Amazon Wall Corner Protector and does inside and outside corners..
If the 3M double sticky tape does not do it I will purchase and do believe this will have
enough strength to hold headliner from flexing.....

Well I have tried 3M rubber tape across the whole back window and I drive it 10 or so miles no noise then it starts.
I come home and push the headliner up into roof and I can still hear the noise..
So think next few weeks going to call Lotus and take it in ..
If this was not a brand new car I would have poked small hole and put spray foam between roof and headliner..
