Have you considered the possibility that this new leak is unrelated to the windshield replacement?

Most leaks on the driver’s side originate from a failed seal of the radio antenna. Water will creep beyond the immediate area of the leak. I wouldn’t be so quick to point the finger at the windshield seal, unless you actually observe leak coming from that area.
