I would see if I could massage the seal/ glass into place
I pulled my window to replace the seal. When it was back in, I had to tape down the seal/ glass to hold it in place. a little heat and massaging helped.
The seal may have some memory that needs to relax. Also, it may need to be pushed into the corners

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Windshield seal replacement- problems
Hey, can a windshield seal be removed and reused, if it's only been on a
week?
I bought a MB windshield seal, and had a local windshield shop replace
my windshield last week, after having my windshield smashed by something
on the highway, only to find out either the seal or the glass is off to
one side, leaving a 1/4 " gap in the outer seal at the upper driver's
side corner. I'm going back to the shop today, yet wanted to know
options before I got there.
Can the glass be moved once installed? (with lots of silicone lube or
something)
The seal is more expensive than the windshield.
Maybe better to smash the glass and get it replaced.
Not happy about this.
