Follow along to test and repair your soft top.

This is great! I think someone replaced the switch at some point in MY convertible Beetle. I figured it was the pump in the trunk? But this gives me something to go after that is different. Great video much appreciated!

I have a 2008 VW Beetle 2.5 S manual soft top convertible ( not electric) . The safety latches on both sides at the back in back windows do not lock down the roof once it's folded down in the back. Any idea on how I can fix the problem or find the latches ?

Hello, unfortunately that car doesn't belong to me, I only had it for that day. Sorry, I am not able to show that for you. Thanks for watching.

How much is the part? How much will it be for this kind of jod?

About $660 new used from Ebay $130 - $200 (The one I installed in the video was from Ebay.) Labor, I would say 2 - 3 hours. Most of the cost would be in the diagnostics and that depends on how quickly they find what is wrong. Replacing the part is about a 45 min. job. Every shop has a different labor rate, but average price $140 an hour. So about $420 in labor. This is just an estimate. Hopefully you can follow along on my video so you can save some money. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I will watch your video over and over and will see if I'm brave enough to do it. It doesn't look that hard to do. 😊 Ah, what's the name of the part.
