Drivers window... not quite all the way up. S70

Front driver-side window doesn't quite make it to the top. It doesn' seem like a motor problem, but it leaves, oh about .25" maybe at the top. It reaches past the molding but doesn't go as high as the passenger side. Anybody know how to raise it up just a tad?

    Dang... forgot to mention, I know its not all the way up because when I go to the no-touch car wash, the high-pressure hose induces leaking around the top of the window.

      This could be one of two things. The problem most likely is a window trim issue. Window trim will wear, harden, and even crack over time letting in water from car washes and what not. This is a cheap and easy fix for you to do on your own. The other is more involved and would require you to take the door panel off the car and adjust the hinge on the window elevator. Not a fun fix, if the trim doesn't work I will go into more detail on this if you would like at a later time.

        It's not the trim; its in good shape. Looking at the volvo logo at the bottom of the window, it is noticably lower than that of the passenger side. How would I go about raising up the window? TIA
