The procedure to reset the electric window controls on the Volkswagen New Beetle is very simple. This operation takes just a few minutes and can be done independently, aided by our short video tutorial.

Start by closing all the doors, the roof, and the windows. Lock the car using the driver's side lock, then open and close it again.

Keep the key in the lock for a few seconds, then remove it and unlock the car. The reset should now be complete; if it hasn’t worked, repeat the operation.
