How to change the passenger and drivers side doorlocks on a VW Beetle Convertible 2006(also fit VAG)

In this video we are going to replace the doorlocks on the passenger and drivers side on a VW Beetle Convertible from 2006.
This works the same as for a VW Golf, VW Polo, Skoda Fabia and other VAG models.
As many of you know we still have a full time job next to Absolute Rebuilds. Next to that we want to keep our videos interesting with these huge builds, so we changed our upload frequency to every Thursday!
Hopefully you would understand and keeping supporting Absolute Rebuilds

I want to second all thre compliments. You made it much easier then other videos I have seen. Not removing the window is a big game changer. Thank you. My 2006 convertible thanks you as well.

Why did you change out the door lock? My passenger side window is not dropping when I open the door from the inside. It drops perfectly when I unlock the door with the key fob. Once the door is closed, the window does not go back up immediately - there is a 15 second delay. Think a door latch replacement would fix this?

Best video I've seen so far! About to tackle this job tomorrow--very nervous--but video helped!

[@Jackofallthetrades]

This is the first door lock module replacement video I have seen where the window was not unconnected! WAAAAAY much easier! And, on top of it all, you were the first person I have seen that completely removed the barrel lock bolt instead of just loosening it. All the other videos state implicitly that it should not be removed at all, but no one ever gave a good reason why :) Thanks, this is the most valuable video I've seen yet on "our" Beetles. Mine is the 2005.

[@Jackofallthetrades]

Oh, and how much did you pay for your lock modules, and where did you get them? Can you share a link?

[@AbsoluteRebuilds]

I bought them at our local auto store for €50 each!
