Window dropped on one side. plz help

my 2015 scirocco passenger side window is operating as normal but when fully closed it is not all the way up on one side. I first noticed this while sat in the car wash!! and it now makes a lovely whistling noise on the motorway!

I have viewed several videos on removing the door card but want to know if this is something that can be adjusted once I get in there? Can I adjust the levelling of the window or is it likely to be something a bit more than that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Disconnect the battery and then reconnect.
Hold the window up butttons for both windows with the doors closed. Then when the are fully closed for like 1 second you can release the buttons and the end stops are learned.

I did try the window reset/learn minus the disconnecting of the battery, but thought with it only being one side which wasn't coming all the way up it was more of a mechanical issue.
I will try it tomorrow and fingers crossed for an easy fix.
Thanks

Tried disconnecting and re learn and still the same.

Any one have any experience with accessing the window mech? Is there any way of adjusting the level? Towards the front of the car it goes up all the way but not on the other end. I have tried attaching a pic but it's not very clear.

There are rubber plugs behind the door card where you can adjust the window position. But it’s quite difficult to get a good alignment. I would advice to take it to a workshop.
See general body repairs exterior file.

Thanks for your reply and the additional files.
I did manage to find a clip on Youtube of someone stripping it down(in French though, you can auto translate but its not great) and it does look like quite a big job.

I think I will take your advice and get it booked in.
