So I finally found a windshield installer near me that seemed like they would do a good job, use rivets, oem gaskets/seals, etc. I had a mobile appointment scheduled this morning. I removed the wipers, cowl, and screws from the previous install in preparation. I didn't full remove the side trim, but I peeked behind it and it all looked pretty good.
Unfortunately, the installers found rust behind the top seal when they pulled it (doesn't look too bad to me). While they said they could do minor rust repair, they were afraid to go any further with the job and recommended I take it to a body shop.
Now I'm left searching for body shops in the SF Bay Area that can fix this and install new glass. On top of that, I'm moving in three weeks and am really hoping I can get this fixed in time.
Even though they didn't complete the job, I would recommend Super Auto Glass if you need a windshield. They seemed really honest and thorough – just wish they were could do more rust repair.
