Yes! You can definitely install the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11260 onto your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible TDI diesel yourself. It is a pretty low difficulty and only takes about 30 minutes to install. Fortunately, we do have an installation walkthrough video available that I attached to this answer.

If you are still hesitant about installing the hitch yourself, you can always use our install finder that is located under the product videos on the product page to find an approved installer near you. I went ahead and attached a screenshot to show you where it is located.
