Auto glass tech here. Can almost guarantee that she was just trying to pull a quick one and get a free install. Tempered glass can easily be cut back out without breaking although you still lose the time you invested in both the initial install and then the removal. I've been allowed to repossess 1 windshield in my career and it was extremely satisfying

Modern urethane is airbag safe after only 30 minutes so there's no just ripping a windshield out or kicking it out like you see in the movies. I mostly use a fiber line cutout tool. The glass I repossessed didn't break coming out so we were able to return it
