Description of the problem	Driver side rear window regulator is broken. While rolling window down, i heard a loud snap. The window will only roll up half way, and then automatically rolls down again. I cannot secure my vehicle as the window will not go up. I brought the car to kimball volkswagen, and they told me that it was a common problem with the window regulators, and that it is "re-occurring" problem! The cost to repair the window is $75 for the repair kit, and $105 per hour labor by the dealership. My neighbor has an 05' red convertible, he told me he has fixed the back windows three times! This is a consumer rip off. I have not fixed my window, because i cannot afford to, because the convertible top is now broken as well. A plastic rivot has broken off and now my convertible boot does not fold correctly! This of course is not under warranty.
