Default V-Kool and my door panel

I'm pissed off--

I went to the dealer for the service and brake pads replacement. I also asked to change my v-kool to 10% .. till the time every thing was fine.

yesterday evening i went to pickup the car, it looked great but once I'm on the road I heard an air noise coming from both doors I checked the windows but they were all up ..

I placed my hand at the end of the window .... and the surprise was there a hole between the window and the door .. (it's open door panel)

I tried to use force to close it but no use any idea ..? am afraid that they broke my door panel while installing v-kool. it's not fully opened but the black part is off like i can enter my whole hand inside.

sorry for going OT for a sec, in the Middle East, we tend to refer to rate of blocked/reflected light rays rather than penetration... so my guess is that Wish is having a very light tint.
