While it’s removed it seems like a serious inspection of the “cleaned and painted” areas is needed. Maybe a more qualified inspection and installer is also needed.
That's the idea i got after the first time but i didn't want to pay again and i think he would do the third one free as well. The guy who did the cleaning and painting after the second was the same guy who painted the entire truck which i was mostly happy with for the price i paid.
These trucks aren't too common around my area and many shops outright refuse to work on it so its not the easiest to find another guy.
I personally looked over the cleaned and painted area before the glass went in and it look good so im inclined to blame the installer who does not work directly for the body shop that did the paint.
I tried to explain how the gap between the glass and the top of the opening needed to be filled with sealant as that's what I've seen people say gets neglected and leads to water being trapped under the rim of the glass but i don't think he understood as they just shoved the glass itself as far up as it would go.
I really don't want to pay safelite 400$ for a new glass especially since they outright refused to do it the first time due to the minor rust but i suppose if that's what it takes i must. Finding another body shop in my area has been difficult as they either do "real" classics or insurance jobs almost exclusively.
