it looks like it was installed by a band of monkeys with hammers

From my experience a band of monkeys with hammers would do a better job than most glass guys. I am on my 3rd windshield in less than a year with my BMW and it still isn't right. "Quality" and "Attention to detail" simply don't exist in the auto glass industry. I'm guessing its because the tools to do windshield replacement are cheap so there really isn't anything stopping anybody from doing it and claiming to be a professional.

If you do have it replaced do yourself a favor and remove as much as the trim as possible before the guy gets there. Stuff like the windshield wipers, A-pilars, etc. This is where most of the damage was done to my car because the guy was too lazy to remove it correctly.
