The glass is oem from Japan, and the manager told me that the type of bead they apply is of oem shape and size vs. The "round" bead some other shops draw. So far it sounds good.

If your getting oem glass great,the glass has alignment tabs on all 4 corners ,and the one's at the top actually go right into the pinch weld to set the exact height and depth so the windshield moulding sits perfect at the top by the roof.
On the bottom their are 2 tabs so when he puts the cowl back on it lines up where it should.

If it has all these tabs on it a blind monkey with boxing gloves on @ night couldn't Fvck this up.

Good luck

It's at Nissan now. Does even oem replacement glass have these, or just oem installed at the factory?

It's definitely oem Nissan. I went myself to the dealer to verify that it was oem. They confirmed that it was ordered through them and was. So I can for sure count on it having tabs?

When I put mine in a few months back mine had everything on it that my cracked on had including the bracket for the rear view mirror.

The problem with windshield companies (ours too) is that no matter how many times a glass tech has removed a particular windshield sh!t still breaks.

When mine broke I had my co replace the windshield in my car but I still disassembled it and removed the glass myself,the tech that came to put it in (I knew him)when Tom saw my car he understood why I removed it myself,he prep the glass I helped him set it and he left and I put the rest of my car back together myself.
Our glass co is one of the best in Atlanta but Tom(20 years exp.)completely understood why I did what I did.

You'll be fine

Putting the bead on is easy it is determined by the cut on the nozzle once cut it puts the same bead on every car and the alignment tab make it idiot proof.
