Consumer Description

REAR PASSENGER WINDOW STUCK DOWN IN 2005 NEW BEETLE CONVERTIBLE - THERE IS APPARENTLY A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THIS REAR WINDOW REGULATOR OF AT LEAST 2 MONTHS WHICH MEANS THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AFFECTING MANY VW DRIVERS AND VW SHOULD CLEARLY HAVE A RECALL - LEAVING MY CAR WITH A WINDOW OPEN IS NOT AT ALL IDEAL AND I WILL HAVE TO CAREFULLY PLAN OUT WHERE I PARK THE CAR UNTIL THE PART IS LOCATED AND INSTALLED. *TR
