In my case, about 1/2 to 3/4 CCW turn with philips screwdriver did the trick - now headlights aim just a little higher on each side… Importantly, I am not getting flashed by oncoming drivers while using the low-beam headlights.
Pros: headlights aim higher
Cons: initially aimed low
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I ended up adjusting mine by 0.5 turns and they're great now. I guess yours could be even worse from the factory than mine were.
Pros: great improvement
Cons: massive disappointment initially
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Drove it for a day and the alternator crapped out. Installed a new one asap.
Pros: new one installed
Cons: crapped out

Figured I should close out this thread by saying I did order the windshield after spending some time with the dealer and their computer. They told me no returns on it if I am wrong about it being the windshield. So $975 (before install costs) later it came in this week and is indeed the windshield.
Pros: fits perfectly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Part number: 3D1845011AQ
Had a similar experience with a VW dealership when I had to replace my Intake Manifold a few weeks ago. They quoted me 1800 dollars and said it would take 6 hours. A specialist near me quoted half on time, money, and had the car back to me in two days.
Pros: specialist quoted half
Cons: dealership quoted high
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
