This is a bummer. ...especially so for a brand new car. Keep a positive attitude as I'm sure it can be solved.
The fact there's water around that switch is a serious problem to begin with. Are you sure the SR wasn't open during a rain shower or when passing some errant grass water sprinkler by chance. If not then this would be cause for you to have the Volvo Service Dept look into the issue. A leaking SR isn't good. Mind you. getting water onto the switch would be difficult from above the car as the switch is located inside and forward in the roof. -- very strange.
If after the car has 'dried out' will SR operate at all in either direction?
Try pulling the SR forcefully with your hand in either direction as the motor contact might be in a position that causes no current to flow to the motor device.
It could be that you have a defective SR motor.
If all else fails from a DIY effort you best take time to visit Volvo's Service Dept, if for no other reason to have them record the fact for future waranty claim.
Good luck and post back what you find out.
