Sounds like you have a bad switch in the latch. You can try spraying it with contact cleaner and operating the switch several times. But most likely you will need to change out the bad latch.
is it a rubber/nylon bush ? may have worn away over the years , may just need replacing, contact your local VW dealer for the part , can't be hard to replace
My wife's car is a 2004 convertible. We had the same problem. There is a switch built into the door latch assembly. Whenever you pull either the interior or exterior door handle, the switch lowers the door glass a certain amount.
We replaced the door latch assembly and that corrected the problem.
I had the same problem and I did the following:
- demount the plastic cover of the trunk (2 screws)
- locked and unlocked the trunk, while it was open to understand the system (it's really easy)
- lubricate all relevant parts
- checked the functionality
- put the plastic cover back on
- done
Overall it took me 15 min. It worked on my beetle. No guarantee. I'm not a technician.
