Door Panel flexes when rolling up & down windows
We just purchased our second Civic. It is a 2012 EX-L. Seems great aside from when we roll the driver and front passenger side windows, the door panels visibly flex concave. You can not only hear it, but see it happen.
I know the plastic used on the interior is one of the top complaints, but has anyone else experienced this issue?

Normal.
The doors are not made of cast iron, they do flex noticeably.
12 LX Sedan here, mine sure does it.

I've noticed that scissors type window regulators cause the door to flex more than a cable type window regulator.
