So, I had to get my windshield replaced due to a foot long crack from the edge inwards. There's a lip at the top of the windshield now, the glass installer claims it's a bad windshield. It matches up in the upper corners, but the gap from glass to roof panel is pretty noticeable in the center. Before I get the windshield replaced again, is it possible he just used the wrong moulding up there?

That looks gap looks wayyy too big. Think I’ll be demanding factory glass and moulding if I decide to get mine changed, What brand of glass did they install ??

I didn't ask what the glass was. It was Safelite, which I don't plan on using again. Lesson learned the hard way, unfortunately.

There should be name on one of the lower corners of the glass like this, Might be nice so we can avoid the brand.

The brand was Quiet view. Safelite did come back and do an acceptable job fixing it, though there was some residue on the side window and on the hood. So, they did make it right, at least.
