I drove my S60T5 through the carwash today and was surprised at the amount of
water coming in behind me on the seat. I hurried home and ran out with a
towel and mopped up what I could and left the door open so it could dry better.
Upon inspection I noticed that although I had used the power window control to
make sure all the windows were up, the window in question was NOT all the way
up. I tried running it up and down with both the driver's control and the
control on the LR door and it was the same with both controls.
As background info it seems like the door upholstery panels on both rear doors
have more than the usual "give" to them. Queries as to how they were attached
to the dealer I took it to in Tulsa for the 67,500 mile service ($499) yielded
the following: "They are adhered in place." W3: "You mean installed with an
adhesive?" D: "Yes." W3: "Can you tell me what kind of adhesive you use?"
D: "3M" W3: "3M makes thousands of different adhesives." D: "That is all the
information I have."
This is the same dealer who would not sell me the rubber cover for the trunk
latch actuator above the license plate, a small piece of flat rubber about
2" x 3½" but suggested I replace the entire latch mechanism for $250.
I am not in a hurry to go back to them.....

I suspect something in the LR window drive mechanism is stripped, causing
jerky and incomplete motion. I haven't got into VADIS to see if I can find
anything on this yet, but does anyone know if there is an easy fix for this?
