What options do you have? If it's just a sensor, they're full of shit and soaking you.A new windshield due to a rock crack. This also included a sensor re-calibration and a 4-wheel alignment for some reason.

Who did the work?Insurance covered it all so I didn't argue (I wasn't even aware of the wheel alignment until I got the paperwork at checkout) - I just had a $100 out of pocket glass deductible

Not needed if your just have the rain sensor, but glad your insurance paid for all of it.The windshield was done by a local highly recommended indy shop. The re-calibration was done by the local VW dealer. The glass shop when working with the insurance company for approvals (I was on the call with them) stated that the sensors would need reset and got approval to have the car taken to the VW dealer where their mobile truck would go and replace the windshield and then turn the car over to the dealer for the sensor work. Insurance didn't question anything and so I figured it was just the front facing sensors behind the rear view mirror that was being reset. It wasn't until I picked the car up and read the paperwork that I realized that the did a 4-wheel alignment as part of the process.
I did see a post from a while back from B6TURBOWAGON who IIRC owns a glass shop that the wheel alignment is actually part of the "VW" sensor reset process.

It's not a big deal, just caught me by surprise that it was part of having the sensors re-calibrated.

Did he order OEM glass?
pretty unreal quality huhInstalled my SportShifters kit.
Do you plan to replace the OEM strut mounts and bearings? I know there’s a lot of TTY hardware that I’ll replace when I do mine but getting new mounts and bearings adds more than $200 to the overall project and I don’t even know if it’s necessary.
What about emergency collision braking?Not needed if your just have the rain sensor, but glad your insurance paid for all of it.
