Default Leaking side windows

I just had the windshield replaced and now it leaks badly in the very front corners. The installer put in all new weather stripping and metal mouldings. The windows do not go under the lip of the moulding in the front corner near the door. It has been worked on 3 times but still leaks. Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is to keep taking it back to the installer until they get it right.

It can only be one of three things.
1. Wrong winshield used.
2. Wrong rubber molding used.
3. Poorly done installation.
Tell them you are going to take it to another installer and will send them the bill for payment.

I have a 95' Corvette and have replaced the side windows twice due to misformed glass. The glass people tell me that it happens and I have gone through four glasses before I found the ones that fit properly. They either fit right or they are misshaped. Oh yes, it could be the installer but if he has tried and tried to fit it, maybe there is a glass that was not moulded correctly from the glass factory!

Just a thought!
