Does anyone know the insurance reimbursement price for replacing a windshield (T 5 model) with a rain sensor?
Are 3.8 hours correct?

Windshield with rain sensor field: approximately €220.
In addition to that, there's the cost of windshield adhesive and the aforementioned salary, or €150 for partial comprehensive insurance, depending on the situation.
Essentially, the insurance companies calculate the original Volkswagen price of the windshield plus an hourly rate. The price mentioned above is the VAG price.

No, 25 AWs are correct.
At a price of €90 per standard unit, the total cost for everything included is approximately €560. 3B5 AJM

Unfortunately, that's all the insurance company will cover.
"Insurance companies now have their own calculation programs for these types of situations, and if the number of approved working hours (AW) is too high, deductions may be made if the repair cost exceeds a certain amount (X)." 3B5 AJM

Thank you for your "meager 2.5-hour responses,"  .
Will I get anything extra for the rain sensor, or is it already included?
I've submitted it now, let's see what happens. Gruß, der Teileklaus

I have news.
Only 2.5 hours and 503.24 will be paid. The hourly rate is too low - hmm.
That would have been worth it with the single-glass program.  Gruß, der Teileklaus

Hi BM,
As before, 7.08 times 32 AW.
Yesterday I called because Volkswagen had charged me 2.5 times €91, which amounts to €227.50, and they were willing to pay that amount without any issues.
Okay, I've resent the invoice with the following adjustments: The quantity is now 2.5 times 85 euros, and the price of the windshield has been increased to 185 euros instead of 175 euros. To compensate for this, the price of the VAG adhesive set has been reduced to 30.40 euros. The total amount is now 541.33 euros, which is still below the VW recommended price.
During a follow-up call, another case worker wanted to review the matter again.
Yes, they want to see the exact figures; otherwise, they will simply cut back on the times that are too expensive, and they haven't adjusted the cheaper option to their level.
Even if the net amount to be paid would ultimately be lower, the reconciliation program is still needed, which in turn reduces earnings.
We used a total of 2 x 2 hours, which is 4 hours. To be honest, one of the men might have been a cheap and unreliable worker, but I didn't hire someone like that; I hired a good man.
Thanks for participating and for your help.
The lower initial payment was paid after deducting the deductible, so it's 60 less than what Volkswagen reimbursed. I won't sue, but I will learn from this. Gruß, der Teileklaus
