Bring those W3′s in. We do not need any high-speed UFO’s on the highways. Gorilla Glue anyone?

Mandy, Wow thats a big delay but we are glad its on now. You know the funny thing is… my 2000 NB latch is acting up, again. It went away on its own but the gremlin has come back. Time to pull out the tools.
Thanks for stopping by and posting your experiences. BTW, are you keeping that interior lean?
I have a 2008 beetle. My back glass spoiler flew off after about the 1st week of purchasing this car new. they replaced it and it took forever, at least 5 weeks and they finally got it on right and its great now. They need to recall the trunk latch now, myself and everyone i talk too have problems with the trunk latch not opening correctly. it doesnt pop up right you have to manually pull it while pressing the button on the key fob.
