bay door skin separates

Here's a new one, while travelling up I-90 near Buffalo in my 2017 Challenger LX, the aluminum skin on one of my bay doors came unglued from its frame, and bent back in the wind. It was only held on now by the latch. The repair center said they had never seen this before, and I hope I don't see it again. It was $1600 to replace and paint the skin. Anyone else ever see this?

I hope that wasn't your $1600?

As an update, upon inspection, I have found 3 more doors that the skin has started to separate. So I will take these in to have them properly glued on. They are only held on with double sided tape.
