C350e New Windshield

My windshield was replaced this afternoon and I noticed an air pocket (see picture) near the top of the windshield (in front of the camera or sensor?). Will that air pocket impact any of the features of the car? Do I have to ask the company to fix it? Appreciate your help

Spoiler

Contact the company that installed it and forward them the photo. It does look odd.

Thanks. I will reach out to them. Do you know what those three circles are - camera, any distance sensor, or...? Thanks

That is where the rain and light sensor is mounted. If it is interfering with the sensor im guessing you will have issues with the auto lights and dimming, also if you have rain sensing wiper feature.

I never messed with the windshield or sensor so wasnt sure what it looks like in there. I found an article on how to remove the sensor which shows a lens that stays glued to the windshield. Did the windshield come with that lens already glued on, or did the installer remove your old one and stick it on the new windshield?

Heres the article with photos: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...eplacement.htm

The installer should also have calibrated the camera to work with Lane Keep Assist, etc. While I do think they should fix it, it's more important that the cameras work properly.
