I have a 2005 Volkswagen beetle convertible, the convertible top has pulled away from the top of the rear glass window and has a gap. The car is 5 years old, but it only has close to 65,000 miles on it.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2009

On my 2005 vw beetle the left side back window fell off of it's tracks. Even though there were no injuries this could have startled my wife and perhaps caused an accident. There are numerous complaints on many vw models going back to 1995, yet when I called their vw of America number to see if there is a recall for this defect they acted like mine was the only one!!!! I then did a google search and discovered vwofamerica is nonresponsive to many complaints. Ei; odi number: 10282664. Can you help??!!!!.
