You may need to rework the trim. Test fit before actually installing the windshield. The "test" isn't so much for fit (because the windshield is really installed yet), but for symmetry.
I used this technique recently and determined one corner out of alignment, so I set the windshield on my work table (ottoman in the living room!) and then carefully removed that section of trim and bent it slightly to better conform to the glass and also the other side that fit better.
Once I went back and re-checked (again, for symmetry) there was a big improvement. And best of all, the install worked fine, and all corners are where they should be.
Another pointer: If you aren't using it already, use a soft cord for the install. I used a cotton-polyester blend "parachute cord" and it worked great. (about 5mm diameter)
Good Luck!
