Need instructions on driver airbag removal for this car.
Driver side you just slide a screwdriver behind the steering wheel. Passenger side you need to remove glove box to access the unit above it. NOTE: Always disconnect power from the battery before tampering airbag unit and have the radio code ready when connecting power from the battery since it will lock up for anti-theft protection.

It is not supposed to be possible for the airbags to deploy when the car isnt moving. Sounds like the car had a defective airbag system, Just be grateful it never blew up while you were behind the wheel. If it were me I would contact VW and see if they are willing to help you. And if you decide to replace the airbags, I would fight like crazy with the insurance company to have every aspect of the airbag system replaced(all sensors and computers associated with it). If you are in America, your state has an attorney generals office, If no one is willing to work with you, A friendly and concise letter to the attorney general usually straightens everyone up.
