Default Door over-opened from heavy wind :(

Was between tall New York city buildings and it was mad windy.. I open my driver door to get out, and the wind pushes it open even more... boom/crack/click.. the black hinge thing pops and flys away.. there's two dents on the outside of the door shell at two stress points (say 1mm each, some paint is chipped but the metal is bent but I can probably live with it)..

But the door immediately pops open..and I have to force it hard to close so it latches/locks.. What can I do about this, is this under warranty or is this an insurance claim for wind damage?

I've actually had work done on this door last year when the car was in an accident so maybe the body shop didn't make it solid enough?.. my fender/door shell etc. were replaced.. maybe I can convince the body shop to fix this for free? (Why would they though)
