Windshied Replaced, Now Strange Sounds 200 1985

I had my windshield replaced last week. Now I'm hearing strange sounds from it. I need help to know where to point the guy when I take the car back to get this fixed.

I searched the archives here and found similar questions but no responses.

BTW, this 1985 DL has no sunroof, so there's no potential issue with the sunroof trim.

The windshield appears to be installed correctly. I think the shop purchased and used new clips - I know we talked about this prior to having the work done. (I had better look at my receipt to confirm that I was charged for them. D'oh! I hate making a public fool of myself, which I seem to do regularly.)

Here's a description of the sound - You know what it's like when a bug hits the windshield? Not a big bug at highway speeds, more like a tiny speck of sand at moderate speeds. It isn't a creaking sound, it sounds like I'm driving through a swarm of mosquitos. It doesn't matter how fast I'm moving and it doesn't increase with speed. It is only seems to be coming from the passenger side.

I had the work done by Safelite and its one of their aftermarket windshields.

This car only has 37K miles on it and before I had the windshield replaced I didn't hear anything like this.

Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.
