Power Window problems of the 2004 Volkswagen Beetle

Car was shifting very hard, tires would squeal as shifting between 1-2 and 2-3rd gears. To replace the transmission it will be between 2-5000. 00 dollars we have had to replace window regulators, thermometer.

This the 3rd window regulator to fail. One door and now both rear regulators.

1) inferior automatic transmission pump valve assembly caused very hard down and up shifting that could startle the driver. It was replaced at owner's expense. 2) left side rear window regulator failed and was replaced at time of purchase (Feb. 2012). Right side rear window regulator has failed July 2012 and must be replaced at owner's expense.

I have a 2004 vw Beetle convertible 2. 0l GLS and both front window regulators are broken at the same time. I pulled one of the doors apart to see what was broken and it is a plastic piece that holds the motor to the regulator. There is no reason for this part to break and especially for both sides to break about the same time. The plastic part that is needed is not sold separate, the whole window regulator assembly has to be purchased, so to fix the windows will cost a lot of money.

I bought a used 2004 new Beetle convertible and lowered the back window and would not raise again was told the back window regulator went out and is costing me 1200. 00. Not covered under extended warranty or by volkswagon. I am finding out this was a big problem with these cars after the fact.

Rear window will not go up. Was told it is the window regulator & it is on national back order.
