I got it yesterday and tried it out today and it works really, really well. I would highly recommend it. Even though it's getting past 'vert weather here in Jersey, I'm still putting the top down every chance I get, and this definitely helps.
It's amazing what a difference it makes. I have had mine off for a couple of weeks so I could carry backseat passengers and it is much windier (sp?) without it.
I got mine on Ebay, for somewhat less than it cost from my dealer. Actually I bought it directly from a dealer, down in VA Beach. For some reason, they are selling authentic VW accessories at a discount online. Do a search on Ebay, I think they still have some available.

I'm hating that it is getting so cold here! Friday was gorgeous though and I cruised along Lake Michigan with the top down and the windscreem up! It wasn't bad at all!
But... seriously... when is it too cold to have the top down??
On Sunday, it was gloriously sunny, but 32 degrees. No worries, we took the NBC out, top up. I told hubby, "When it hits 38 degrees, pull over!" :lol:
Well, it was 42 before we put the top down, and it was great! Bright sun, warm seat, sunglasses, scarf, fleece hat, and windblocker. What a great day! :clap:
Yeah the windstops are great. I bought a non VW type. The only difference is the way it folds. The cost saving was a big deal to me but the quality was great.
Mine seems to be permanently installed. I remove it only to put my kids in the back. Great invention. Works much better than the sales critter at the dealer said.
Hello all. It has been a long while since I have been in here. Its good to be back! Last Summer a friend and I repaired my back window. It left the headliner hanging around the window. Is it possible to glue it up, or will that affect the operation of the top? Thanks for any input.
Hi:
I have seen many posts about the back glass coming unsealed from the convertible top. How I feel your pain!
Several months after purchasing my 04 used and not under warranty, I experienced the same thing. And I was told the same thing by VW and a specialist that repairs convertible...
I have a 2007 vw new beetle convertible and I have removed the center console. In the process the wiring came disconnected from the convertible top switch on the center console. VW did not leave any excess slack of wiring so the plug that goes into the switch won't reach the switch until the...

I have a 2003 nb convertible and the rear passenger window regulator isn't working. I have replacement parts for it and have been watching some videos on how to replace it. Question is some tell you need to remove the window first and some says not to. Can you remove the whole unit together or...
