3 weeks ago, when I got my car back from the shop for work wholly unrelated to the top (rims and axle) the top would not go down, no matter how many times I restarted the car and tried the "reset" involving turning off the engine while still holding down the window button. The next morning, it...

Hello! I've been wrenching on my fiance's 2008 New Beetle (2.5L, Convertible, Automatic, Engine Code BPS) and believe I have found that the upper timing chain cover (07K109283E) is leaking (as well as a couple other leaks, but those have been fixed without issue). After a lot of sleuthing, I...

Hello... I bought my first ever beetle today and was really disappointed to discover that when I tried to put the manual roof down it was virtually impossible to get it to click into place. My husband had to put extreme force on it to get it to work, but I would have no chance of doing it. Any...

(2003 NB Convertible 1.8T 09G) When I open the top (automatic switch operation), the passenger side latch moves back to engage the locking pin, but the driver's side latch never engages no matter how long I hold the switch. The convertible top opens and closes normally other than that. How...

Hello All, I have a 2013 Volkswagen convertible beetle. Recently my convertible top has been acting up. Whenever I pull the button to close the top. It starts to close, and when It goes to lock itself into place there is a loud constant clicking noise coming from the middle where the lock is...

Hi, I'm new to this community, so I'm not completely sure how it works, but I have a 2004 New Beetle Convertible and the top won't come down. The indicator light will come on and I can hear the motor, but the top does not move. I've searched the forums and cannot seem to find a solution. Any...

Hi all. I am not a car expert, at all. I can do some things but not a lot. I've always wanted a Beetle. I bought one in Florida almost three years ago and drove it home to Texas. It worked fine when I bought it and made the trip home without incident. Almost as soon as I got it home, lots...

OK. So, I've read a LOT of forums about convertible tops peeling off the back glass window of New Beetle Convertibles (our is an '05). There are posts that say it's repairable and offer simple gluing techniques. Other posts say it's repairable, and offer fairly complicated and involved...

I am a new Beetle owner and a new car owner in general, I just got my license back in October so I've never owned a car before but my parents bought me a 2004 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible. Everything was going fine for the first few months that I had it up until January and then I started...

Salutations, My wife is complaining the low beams on her 2006 New Beetle Convertible are very dim. I took the housing out of the fender well and there are 3 bulbs in it, 2 H7s and one that looks like a side marker bulb. With the engine on, the low beams (the ones on the top of the housing)...

I need to get a center splash shield on our 2006 convertible. Apparently the original one was either damaged or removed during an oil change and never replaced. I do have the side shields and the metal brackets on each frame rail. I have none of the other hardware. Based on my research there...

Hey everybody, I have a 2004 Beetle Convertible that has been living in the Canadian rust belt for its whole life. It doesn't get driven much during the winter as I have an old Golf winter beater and its been rust proofed since I got it, but that wasn't enough. My driverside rocker panel is...

I have a tonneau / boot cover for my 2006 Beetle convertible and never used it. I kept it folded up and sealed inside a plastic bag. I got it out today and it had a crease on one side where it was folded for so long. Dumb move, I know. Does anyone know how to remove the crease, or if it's...

Hello all. Up until three days ago I was the owner of a 2006 NBC, which I loved loved loved dearly. Then someone made an illegal left turn and hit me almost head on and totaled my car (I'm mostly OK). I'm still grieving, but also have to start thinking about getting a new car. My main...
