The most common issue with the convertible top of the 2008 Volkswagen Beetle is, fortunately a simple one -- it stems from low hydraulic fluid levels, which can affect the vehicle's ability to raise and lower the roof. This is, predictably, a simple fix -- You'll just need to fill the system with more hydraulic fluid, which can be found through a Volkswagen dealer, major automotive parts stores, or online. Alternatively, You may find that the convertible top motor has gone bad. This is a bit pricier of a fix, as it will usually necessitate replacement. It's also possible that the tracks have bent or broken, or the rollers will have become bound. Lastly, it's possible that Your convertible top switch itself has failed.
