Your windshield has developed four spontaneous cracks on the driver's side, ranging from about one to four inches long. You noticed them when entering the car, and they're only felt from the inside of the vehicle; one crack appears jagged and dark when viewed from inside. Fixing this will likely require windshield replacement or repair through a glass specialist.

Your windshield wiper motor was damaged during a car wash because the automatic rain sensor wasn't properly disabled beforehand, causing both wipers to stop working. The repair estimate from Volkswagen is $1,100, and Volkswagen corporate denied coverage, claiming it's owner damage. You believe this was preventable because the owner's manual doesn't clearly explain how to completely turn off the automatic wiper sensors, despite referring to a diagram on page 114 that only shows a symbol without detailed instructions. Fixing this will likely require replacing the windshield wiper motor and potentially reprogramming the sensor settings.
