BTW thanks for the video. It seems to close more smoothly than mine does.

I believe what you have now was what I experience since I got my car, prior to this fix.
It was a really loud pop sound. I guess with not enough tension from the bungee to resist, the hydraulic will open at full force, thus that loud pop sound.
After the bungee was "fixed", upon my first closing of the roof, I was really puzzled by the much quieter operation.
My bungee was "fixed" by the mechanic, but it seems fairly simple once you know where the bungee is.
You can refer to the Service Manual here:-

Look for the section, 5th bow bungee cord.
