How to Remove Seats 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle (carpet has mold from water leak) 

Thank you and what a timely response as the beetle has condensation in it again and I have no clue why. It can be very hard to love an old Volkswagen. I recently did this video going over everything I've done to it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rTMmBLn1x1M.html

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Great info, thank you. I'm actually taking the car to the dealer in a few days to have the drains cleaned. I don't want the water coming back

@@BuildYourOwn No problem, you're welcome. I ran trimmer line through my drains, and they were perfectly clean. My guess is that the tubes are disconnected at the a-pillar junction.

@@Gr8thxAlot Yeah, we had one that did that also. Terrible VW design.

You're very welcome!

Glad you liked it!

I most definitely will, thanks again!

I don't remember. What I do recall is that not every connector disconnects the same way. I know I didn't do anything special besides be careful. Just take your time looking at it.

@@BuildYourOwn ok thanks

I have not. So many of the old ones are rough

It was the windshield leaking after it was replaced. They tried to deny it of course. But when they replaced it again the problem solved. The dealer checked the sunroof drains and they were perfect

Thanks for watching and sharing your issue with the sky roof on your 2001 Beetle Turbo. It's indeed strange that the roof opens by itself. It could possibly be due to a malfunctioning switch or a wiring issue. Another potential reason could be a problem with the car's comfort control module. As these causes could range from simple to complex, I would recommend taking your vehicle to a professional to get it diagnosed. In the meantime, it might be a good idea to disconnect the motor for the sky roof to prevent it from opening automatically, especially if it's exposed to the elements. But remember, this is just a temporary solution. It's still important to get the root cause addressed. I hope you find this advice useful, and thanks again for your comment.

@@BuildYourOwn Thanks for replying. I realize I didn't specify that the sky room doesn't open when the car is running; it's only when parked, which makes it really weird. I suppose it may open when I'm driving and I just don't realize it, but I think I would see it when getting out. I'm not sure what the comfort control module, but I will surely do the research. Another thing I didn't mention is my air conditioner failed a few years ago. It melted one of the big fuses. When I took it to a repair shop, they thought it was probably a cooling fan that wasn't working, yet both fans run. They wanted $3500 to fix it. The car cost $2500. Anyway, I didn't repair it. My roommate now says he can fix it, so we're waiting until we both have time off. Could this be maybe be a factor to the sky roof opening?

Very happy. The car handles great and its subtle. I could see myself lowering it a skosh more.

Then don't watch

@@BuildYourOwn periodddd Lmaooo
