Description of the problem	The vehicle is a 2005 volkswagen new beetle convertible with the 1. 8 turbo motor. Since owning the car from new, we have had first one and now the other rear window malfunction. One was replaced under warranty. The other wouldn't you know went out soon after the warranty expired. The window will not go all of the way up without some strong physical assistance. Not having the window operable also means that we can no longer use the convertible top. There seems to be a growing number of vw new beetle customers experiencing this problem and/or problems with the front windows as well. For some strange reason the convertible were left out of a somewhat recent tsb/recall for window failure. Our car has had the issue for the front windows resolved under warranty. But we are concerned that we may not have seen the last of this. But the complaint at this time is about the rear windows. With the car not being very old, garaged, covered and well cared for, we should not be experiencing these issues, and neither should so many others. It seems to us that volkswagen group has a parts quality issue here that needs to be corrected not by experimenting on the consumer or at the consumers expense. We are putting up with enough by having to work around the inconveniences in lost functionality of the vehicle and lost time going to the service center.
