I actually bought some convertible top cleaner/protectant. I think I found it on ebay. It is a 303 uv product. We have used 303 products on our boat canvas , so I feel confident using it ! (I actually haven't got the chance to use it yet ) . The top is in great condition so I want to keep it that way ! I will NEVER not have a cabrio ,,,now that I finally got one !
also ...You know the vw ads "drivers wanted" I had a sticker made up "DRIVER FOUND". I love my car !!

Any suggestions as to what it is?
Thanks!

If I don't get an answer I'm going to be filling up for both of our vehicles!!!
Thanks
for over 3 years and I would say at least 1 in 4 times the attendant has problems pumping gas in my car. The set it up, walk away and it clicks right off within the first 30 seconds or less. This is so annoying because then I have to get there attention to restart it again.
Now that I have read your posting - I understand what is happening. Too fast, hmmmm. So yes this does happen to others. Some gas stations I find - it never happens in- so either they are aware and pump it slower, I am not sure.
Thank you for your posting - now I feel smarter.
How do I get into the door from the inside and what are likely issues / fixes?
I don't know what it is but I would get rid of this car in a in a New York minute if I didn't love it so much. So If yourself or any one knows the magic answer please let me know also I am desperate.
I can't figure out how to get the back seat down. I pulled the knob in the trunk and that releases the back portion but I can't figure out how to release the bottom part. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Vicki:)
I live in Massachusetts, and I sort of have my heart set on buying a cabio, preferably a 2000.
Can anyone tell me if I am going to regret this due to either service issues, or the fact that I would need to drive it in a New England winter?
Should I just stick with the trusty, yet not nearly as hip Honda?

I just replaced the battery, that did not fix the problem !
Anyone else had this problem ?
I am new to the group, but I am a 2002 Cabrio owner. I have been fighting with VW over this issue for 3 years. They finally just fixed this. My car would not fill up at full speed. They just replaced the EVAC container which is right inside the fuel tank. It was under warranty, so I can't tell you how much it was... It is a pain to pump gas at half speed. I have only had it fixed for 3 weeks, so I hope the problem is taken care of.
Thanks,

Thanks :sick:
5) Craziest thing to happen with car so far: the passenger window stopped working, it was like this for over a year. A friend of mine is a good mechanic and he dismantled the entire passenger door to see what the problem was, he thought I needed a new motor, priced it out and it's not cheap ($400+ at the time). so since it's a convertible and I have a/c and it's the passenger side window I figured I had not need to get it fixed. Brought the car to VW for service a couple of months after this problem and specifically told them to LEAVE THE WINDOW ALONE I did not want to pay to fix it, the guy at the service desk said he thought there was a recall on it so they'd check it out. They called me a couple of hours later and told me I needed a new motor and it wasn't covered under a recall. I told them to leave it alone don't replace the motor, of course then they wanted to charge me for taking the car apart (think it was about $200-$300) I refused and they wound up caving on that. Get the car back and confirm passenger window still does not work. Approximately a year later my nephew is sitting in the car with me and he hits the window button to try and put the window down and AMAZINGLY THE WINDOW WORKS?! It has now worked for approximately 3 years. Occasionally when I have that window down and I hit the button to put the window up it will go up and down on it's own a few times and ultimately will close. HOW WEIRD IS THAT?!
Anyway, I thought that sharing some of my experiences with this car would help others to understand the fickleness of the Cabrio. I live in CT and I ski, so I've driven it to Vermont through snow storms (I did have snow tires) and I never had a problem getting anywhere with it. I still love this car and while I am in search of another car now (SUV) my intention is to keep my Cabby until it won't run anymore. It's a fun vehicle and was worth every penny and every frustrating experience I've had with it.
Did you choose? I have the same dilema!

We just bought a 2002 and the front drivers side wheel bearing was going bad. I found it while getting it aligned. I was getting it done since there was uneven wear on one of the tires. I bought the bearing at O'Rielly for $50 and it cost about $60 at Autozone to have put in. This included them having to take it somewhere to have the new one pressed in. It took care of my rattle.
Hope this helps.
I aprechiate any ideas anyone has to offer.
