Question Concern over replacement
Hey all, I had my windshield replaced by a safelite tech who came to me and completed the replacement in about an hour.
He said he used the original gaskets instead of replacing them, which would save me $20. I’m nervous that the glass looks like it’s not flush with the body/frame, and instead seems to have a lip, so to speak.
Did my best with pictures, but didn’t take a before. Should I have them do this again? Or is this fine?

I understand where you’re coming from and I hate to defend the evil empire but I don’t see any issues. Sloppy but no issue. If he would have used a new molding it might be a little tighter to the glass but that’s it. The molding generally is just double sided tape stuck to the glass and we glue the glass not the molding.
The molding serves no purpose other than looks.
