Do you want to hear my story?

Well... it took 3 replacements and ended up with OEM.

The first 3 times they did it, each time the seal was messed up. It was either large lump, or something different sticking out far, or would not fit at all.
In the end, when I finally advised them to get the trim from Porsche, they purchased the whole windshield from Porsche.

And guess what - just month later I got a chip. But at least not a crack like it was earlier.
