Consumer Description

BOTH REAR WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. (SECOND ONE IS COMPLETELY DOWN AND DOES NOT GO UP) VW DEALER ADVISES THAT THE REGULATORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND DUE TO THE "DESIGN" OF THE CAR TO HAVE THIS DONE WOULD REQUIRE TAKING OUT THE BACK SEAT FOR A TOTAL OF $1085 WITH PARTS & LABOR. I HAVE SEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND HAVE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLES WHERE OTHER VW BEETLE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. A RECALL FOR THIS COSTLY AND REPEATED ISSUE SHOULD BE PASSED. PLEASE HELP. *TR
