94 Comm. Convertible Windshield Replacement

The windshield on my 94 Comm vert has been a problem for a few years now. I had it replaced shortly after buying the car when it was chipped by a rock. I don't recall if that was the original glass or not. Currently it has a Pilkington replacement, which in my opinion has never been right. It can never really be cleaned. I've tried everything and it continually fogs up. It has a blue tint at the top, not sure if that's the original tint color or not. I want to say it should be bronze. Anyone know for sure? Anyhow, just chipped again by another rock, so time to replace. Auto Glass Co. tells me that Pilkington and Sekurit are original OEM glass for Saab. Is this true? I was given a choice of green or blue for tint. I chose green, seems like a better match. Not sure thought. Thoughts? I was also told that it requires a special moulding for installation. Does this mean it doesn't need adhesive? The current windshield was not installed well. There is an adhesive bead that can be seen at dash level. It's bumpy and sloppy and the glass leaks at the top. Are there any special tricks to installing a C900 vert windshield that I can pass along to the tech to get the job done right?
Thanks,
Van
