We run a v bead on the glass in a continuous bead and overlap the bead at the bottom the same as the factory. I've never seen Safelite do that. It wasn't too long ago that the Safelite installers in our area put a butyl tape on the glass and set the glass Into a pool of urethane.
Do the right thing. Your inability to properly replace a windshield caused the lead. You need to fix the damage.
If you are lucky, maybe you can get hired on at Safelite and go through one of their training classes. They will spend time teaching you how to run a bead of urethane the correct way and you won't have any more leakers.
