Question: Door Panel Movement When Window Is Opened

Ever since I've owned my 2003, which is only a few months, I have noticed something unusual whenever I open the driver's window. Whenever I press the switch to open the window, at the split second that the window motor is activiated, the door panel abrubtly moves for a split second towards the interior of the car, but it moves just for a split second. This happens every time I open the window; you can actually see the door panel move and feel it move if my knee is against the door panel. I checked the passenger door panel and it too moves whenever the window motor is activated but not nearly as much as the driver's door panel. Has anyone else noticed this problem or is this normal with this car? I hate to bring the car to the dealer to have him tell me it's normal.

Beetroot,
Is yours worse on the driver's side versus passenger side?

Posted a similar question earlier - advised by Jens that it is normal - provides better seal when window is closed.
