I get this clunking sound, seems like it only happens when full flaps are deployed and thus when on final for landing. Can't seem to figure out what it is. It always comes from the left wing area. I've gotten sounds from it when sitting in the sun, the aluminum skin popping, it sounds kind of like that but maybe a bit louder.

Have pulled out full flaps on the ground and checked for excess play in the flaps on both sides, they seem fairly tight (there is some play but not enough to make a noise like this it seems).

Anyone get this?
