Default Windshield replacement missing moulding?

I had the windshield replaced on my 2017 NX 200t and wanted to confirm if the moulding in the top left (passenger) corner looks correct.

I can see a copper colored piece of "wire" sticking out of the rubber moulding (circled in red), while the top right (drivers) corner appears to be flush.

I also wanted to confirm if this is an OEM windshield.

Thank you

My Lexus dealer replaced my 2017 NX windshield with another OEM windshield (actually, they subbed-out the job), and it appears to be the same windshield you now have, BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE THE GAP/MISSING MOLDING that yours has.

Suggest you take it to your dealer or whoever did the work so they can make it right....

Thank you for checking your car.

I looked at a Lexus NX windshield installation video, and I believe the part of the moulding with the wire showing (circled in photo) is attached to the windshield itself and may have broken off prior / during the installation.

Safelite did the installation, so I may check with them to see what can be done.
