2016 Chrysler 300c Platinum. Door panels pulling up and out from window at the top. Problem with both front and rear panels. Looks like panel is swelling or deforming.

Have a mechanic open-up the doors by removing the panels.  
What I think he will find is an accumulation of water, resulting from drain holes in the bottom of the doors that are not open as they should be.

Have the inner door panels removed, and see if the factory forgot to install the door vapor barriers.
