I returned to Safelite today and showed the manager my problems. He pushed in on the glass and got it to seat slightly better and filled the gaps with lots of sealant. It's a little better, but I think that if I have a warm, dry day I will put more sealant in everywhere I can. And try to fill in and detail the torn areas so they are not noticeable. Then I will probably get some clear caulking and go along where the glass contacts the seal.

Hopefully I'll be able to afford full insurance coverage when I turn 25, then if my windshield breaks I can have the Mercedes-Benz dealer hire out the installation using their OEM glass and seal. If I am not able to afford full coverage or if my insurance refuses pay for OEM parts if I do have it, then I will buy them myself and install them myself. I've learned that many people do not care about the quality of their work, only how many jobs they can crank out. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my car. I believe it is a work of art, and I want to keep it that way. So what if it was free and currently has a dismantled interior? I still take pride in it and would like to keep it my whole life.
