National Windscreens did mine and I was with him all the time chatting. The Gel doesn't need replacing unless he damages it through being careless. It should be a straight forward job to a competent tech. Just make sure they do not damage the A pillar trim as some of them use a wire they wind around the screen and they have damaged a few trims. The guy I had used the old school hand tool to cut the sealer around the edge.

Mine changed today by Autoglass, less than an hour and perfect job.  Glass is the identical, even made by pilkington per the original except it doesn't have a vw logo.

Glass is only made by Pilkington and St Gobain as far as I know and then VW just stamp it.
