Rag Top Problems

My rag top has been broken twice in one year now the dealer tells me the company does not reconize this as a major problem for this reason it might take weeks to fix,(summer is here now). Has anyone had this problem? Seems that other beetle owners have had this problem at my dealership. Does anyone know what to do?? Is this a LEMON?

When I got my VW Beetle Convertable in September, I was a little skeptikal about having to go through a "Jersey Winter" which can be pretty harsh at times. This car performed great in the snow and ice! Now that the weather is nice, you cant keep me out of my bug! I used to be jealous seeing other people in convertables, now other people can be jealous of me in my Aquarius Blue "PUNCH" Bug Convertable!!! (and its a great color!)

New Beetle Convertible - A real Toy

Fun to drive, a real eye catcher. The new VW convertible has been lots of fun. It has had a couple of bugs, boot cover is hard to secure and electric windows sometime don't close together. The dealership has been wonderful about servicing and any problems. Time will tell the tale. If it holds up as the earlier model VWs this should be a life time of fun and great riding.

I bought this car at the insistance of my wife who spent her teen aged years in a VW bug. I expected a crampled interior and poor performance but was plesantly surprised. Get the turbo!..just don't look under the hood...this car can only be serviced by a VW electronic engineer!
