The best way to test it is to have someone take a garden hose and (with you inside) spray the areas all around the glass, and also just let the water run over the glass (without spraying).
Have a flashlight and some paper towels handy.

Almost looks like the glass and (of course) the seal is smaller.

No way I would accept that replacement. Who did the installation?

Many on FTE are not fans but I have been satisfied with Safelite. YMMV.

When I went to the dealership they referred me out to some local yokel. Good luck Hank.

Everything looks "fine", just used a cheap universal seal. Unless you payed some crazy low price to have that done take it back and have them re-do it and while there at it they need to clean that grime off too! There is nothing "wrong" with it, but unless like I said you had some cheap shop that doesn't care install it for peanuts take that **** back. There is no way in hell I would accept that personally and I pinch pennies.
