This is while driving normally not really on bumps but when you are on just a regular road. More when the road is uneven or when the body has some twist from uneven pavement.

In a couple year span of dodge chargers, the panels on the doors separate from the plastic underneath causing it to lift up where the window goes into the door. On mine specifically it's the drivers side panel and the front passenger side panel. I have seen pictures on forums for dodge chargers where it's all of the doors with this issue.
