Update! Brought the car back last week... FOURTH time. They still have it and it's been 7 days, by far the longest they've worked on it. I went in today to get an update, and they happened to be working on it when I got there, so I got a look at what they were doing.

Apparently, the anti-corrosive paint that the whole body gets submerged in fills in the gaps between the two welded panels in the rear where the snapping sound is coming from. The combination of the gap and the paint in-between is apparently making this noise. Their solution is to strip back this layer and lubricate the gap. I'm not entirely convinced that excess paint in a gap can create this loud of a sound. However, the amount of work they've been putting into this, hopefully they know what they're doing. I should get the car back tomorrow, hopefully without issue this time. Fingers crossed.
