One problem related to carrier/rack has been reported for the 2006 Volkswagen Beetle. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The driver's side door hinge just disappeared and broke for no apparent reason. I do not know when it broke but it had to have just happened as I noticed it now makes an awful cracking noise when the door is opened or closed. After inspecting it the hinge is gone or broke off inside the door that you cannot see; therefore, if there is a wind, it could swing clear back and break the door off as there is nothing to let it swing only a certain amount back. We've only had the vehicle 1. 5 years. We've checked and alot of body shops do not know what to do with it. It will take some body work with welding and taking the door off. . . . . And no doubt paint replacement . I can send a photo if need be.
