Latch Assemblies

The VW Beetle for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 may have issues related to the latch assemblies. This may result in latch micro switch related issues which may will often create situations where the alarm may go off by itself. Also please note that if your door, trunk or hood will not latch without slamming it you likely have a mechanical failure with that particular latch, and you should consider replacing it.
