Adjusting driver-side window?

Hey guys,

Had my G in the bodyshop recently because some jerk hit me and ran, and they replaced my entire door as a result of the damage. Everything seemed to be in order, but putting the car through a touchless wash tonight, I noticed water coming in from the section of the door gasket where the tweeter speaker meets the window, on the very tip of that plastic case. Upon further inspection, I discovered that the window is not completely sealing when closed completely. I checked the passenger side door to confirm, and the window seems to be about a centimeter short of how high it needs to be when the door is closed. There is even a visible gap between the door gasket and the window from outside the car.

Is there any way I can fix this issue electronically, such as through a window reset (not sure how to do it, but I imagine there is one), or am I gonna have to take the car back to the shop?

Thanks,
Michael

The body shop that put the door on needs to adjust the window, for the fact of A self program won't make it seal correct either!

I hope you meant 1 mm not 1 cm...

1 cm is .3935"...that would be a huge gap.

I think you are gonna have to take it back to the shop...
