I won't get into dealer-installed vs. aftermarket (with dealer-installed really being installed by a dealer-selected outside installer), but nowadays the windshield adds an appreciable amount of structural integrity, unlike the old days. So one should be concerned with proper installation and bonding, whoever installs the glass -- it's not just appearance and no leaks any more.
