I have done 3 or 4 windshields--not a huge number--but never had a very tight fit against the glass. It was snug, but pretty easy to get on. I would take another look just to be sure everything is lined up OK before moving forward.

As others have said, don't worry about the bedding compound setting up. Be sure you put tape on the dash and on the car. It will make clean up much easier. After it is installed you might want to use your caulk gun to run an additional bead of compound underneath the rubber, particularly along the top. This will help you be sure water can't run down inside.

Good luck!
