Any ideas on rear racks for a New Beetle, I don't want to put roof bars on and nor do I want to add a trailer hitch.

The main problem is that the rear windscreen is a freestanding sheet of glass with no frame around it so the carrier straps have to clip on to the glass risking pulling it away from the tailgate.

Thanks - Stu
 
The wife has one and I looked into it once, though never bothered. You can get a beetle specific rear carry rack. It carryie them at the back and very high, and was about 150 to 200 quid at the time - unless of course you went straight through a VW dealership in which case it'd be more like 500!

Google it and you should find them - that's what I did. If you were asking if there were any 'fit all' racks that could work, I didn't want to risk it, and assumed it would be a 'no' due to the weird shape of the car.
