I replaced my windshield about a year ago. I don't recall how the old one fit this car. Seems it was better than this. At that time I also replaced the original trim with rubber trim. Maybe the original trim covered or hid a bad fit better? With this ~1/2" gap the rubber has a hard time staying in place. The gap on the other side is equal, little smaller on the top. The curvature is a bit excessive on the top passenger side, more so than the drivers side. I thought the Chinese glass was flatter than original.
Not knowing the history of this car, I don't know if the windshield is %100 the problem. There are indications that the quarter panels were replaced with welds visible at the bottom of the A pillars. The body dimensions are reasonable. I need to get this resolved before paint. Any body work guys run into this before? Bad glass? Attached image(s)
