i resubmitted under replay, added $10. same question but no answer. question;

THE 2003 EXPLORER WINDSHEILD WAS REPLACED. APPEARS THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE MOULDING AROUND 3/4 WINDSHIELD . SHOULD THEY HAVE, THE STATE FARM SAYS YES. SO THE GLASS COMPANY WANTS TO PUT GLUE INTO THE MOULDING. CAN THE MOULDING BE REPLACED WITHOUT REMOVING THE GLASS? OR IS THE MOULDING PART OF THE GLASS INSTALLATION?
I HAVE A BODY SHOP THAT WILL REPLACE THE MOULDING, $ 50. WHAT IS THE BEST DIRECTION TO GO? THANKS BRYON

The moulding should have been replaced. If they want to just glue it in place, I would recommend the body shop that is willing to do it properly for 50.00. It shouldn't require glue.
