Default Door Popping Noise

Don't know where to go for this issue. I looked everywhere but no mention of the 4th Gen GS350 having this issue.

Both the front doors make this popping noise when opening the doors and it's especially worse on the driver because your hear some clunking noise coming from the body panel when going over bumps. I had three mechanic friends check it out with me and they all they said it's either the door check or something in the fender/door that's doing that. And we checked ALL suspension components and found nothing wrong with them.

Anyone else experience this or have any idea? Its been bothering me and it's gotten worse. I'll try to get a video later today.

Sounds like the car has likely been in an accident and not properly repaired. You don't necessarily need a mechanic, but instead a body shop expert to determine what the problem is with your front doors popping noise.

Only accident was the passenger side. And even that wast even an "accident." Minor fender bender. But I'll take it to a shop to check.
