Have you had your windshield replaced before?

I got my windshield replaced and in the top corners there was a 1/4" gap between the glass and the molding. It almost looked like the after market glass curves in too much in the corners or is sitting in there too low because the molding was laying along the body perfectly. I took it back again and they "redid the top section" But now, I still have gaps, though slightly smaller, but now, the seal looks as if it was forced down toward the glass and glued... It kinda has waves in spots now. Im still not happy with it. I hate to seem like a picky a$$hole but I'm gonna take it back to them again. I don't know if they did something wrong on the install - if the glass is not shaped just right or what. Anyone had this problem. Any advice?

Thanks.

I would take it back. I had mine replace with a cheap windsheld, but it fit fine.

I replaced my windshield once and the alignment of the molding with the body wasn't perfect. Just be sure to test the installation, you should not hear any whistling inside the cabin while at highway speeds. Also test for water leaks by pouring water around the molding and looking for water dripping inside the cabin near the kickpanels.

Thanks for your input. I've spent too much money on this car to come up short on a windshield install. I'm gonna take it back to them asap.
