That is cheap. They must have reused everything, moldings, weatherstripping, etc.

I hope you leak checked it. As it is real easy for water to leak past the windshield/trim or behind the weatherstrip retainer when you get the windshield replaced. As there are shops out there who just bolt those pieces back on without cleaning off the old foam and resealing it.

Twotone,

we do it here all of the time. We just deduct the labor and material costs.

Yes, if it is on the inside, I know of no successful way to repair.
