I own a 2008 Volkswagen Beetle. The rear window adhesive on the convertible top became separated this failure caused the glass to separate and the window to separate from the top and almost flew out in traffic and could caused a accident at this time the car is parked due to the safety concern. I am very concerned that the glass may fly out while driving. I have had conversation through email with Volkswagen and they are not concerned, the only response is it is out of warranty, . I have researched the issue on the internet and have found that there are many complaints about the same issue. Again if I would have not pulled over when I did the window would have flown out and caused a accident.
