The real wihdshield seal is not what you see from the outside - that's only trim.

Real seal is between glass and body.
Body sheet metal likes to get rusty in there - glass installer usually will see rust and refuse to guarantee against leaks.

Been there 2-3 times already. Usually seals OK, but last time it didn't. I'm putting up with a small leak.

I think the cure would be to go to body shop, get them to bust out the glass and clean up the sheet metal beneath as well as possible. Then have glass guy go there to install glass. Neither will guarantee the other's work, but if you have a decent body shop they should at least be able to set it up better than it is now. Then your new glass will seal better, maybe seal completely.
