What changes the price for a Volkswagen New Beetle

• Windshield-mounted camera. On the New Beetle, Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE uses a front camera mounted at the windshield; Volkswagen’s glass replacement requirements call for the front camera to be calibrated after windshield replacement.
• Body style. Different body styles use different glass: in the recent quotes, 2 Door Convertible versions were quoted $295–$472 and 2 Door Hatchback versions $307–$343.
• Model year. In our data the 2001–2008 New Beetle models average $296 while 2016–2019 cars average $394.

Volkswagen New Beetle: repair or replace?

A chip smaller than a quarter or a crack shorter than about three inches can usually be repaired — faster and far cheaper than a full replacement. Replacement is the safer choice when the damage is longer than a dollar bill, sits in the driver’s line of sight, reaches the edge of the glass (which weakens the whole windshield), or goes through both layers. A qualified shop can confirm which option your Volkswagen New Beetle qualifies for.

Does insurance cover a Volkswagen New Beetle windshield?

Whether insurance covers your Volkswagen New Beetle windshield depends on your comprehensive coverage and deductible. A few states require insurers to waive the glass deductible entirely, and some insurers waive it for small chip repairs. See our guides to states with zero deductible for comprehensive glass claims and states with glass endorsement coverage to check the rules in your state.
