Exclamation 2016 200t Windshield Replacement

Hello,
I recently got my windshield replaced, it is an aftermarket windshield. However I noticed that my VIN is not exactly aligned with the windshield. Do I need to go back and have them redo it? and has this happened to anyone? He said it was normal but I am not so sure.
Let me know your thoughts, thank you much.

I've seen many after market windshields like this the non shaded area in the wrong place.

That is up to you. If it were me, I would have them redo it.

Note, your VIN can also be found in your driver's door jamb or under the hood.

I think stock the vin isn't lined up perfectly. like it forces you to look at an angle. this is from what i remember. i'll have to check my CT.. but then my CT has an aftermarket windshield. maybe someone w/ a known stock car can take a photo straight on
