Door locks cycle when I am washing the car V50

Well we may have an issue but I am not sure.

Today was the first time I washed the car since getting the service completed for the TSB lock service. There is something odd happening.

When spraying the car doors with the wand, the door locks kept cycling on / off. You can hear the chirp and see the lights on the side mirrors flash. Sometimes just spraying against the window would do it. It does it on all doors.

Since buying the car I've washed the car many times but never saw it do what it did today. I'm worried that there is water ingress into the door lock mechanisms. The car doors I'm familiar with always had plastic sheeting that protected the electronics from water. When the door panels were removed to fix the locks, could that barrier have been breached?

Plus today I also noticed the top of the drivers door panel wasn't fully engaged with the clip. I gave a nice bang and it attached, now it isn't wobbly.

I had the service done on 4/29/2020.

Is this normal and I just never noticed it before or did something happen during the lock replacement? I don't have a good history with this service department, I caught them doing a very bad thing on a TSB for my V50.
