I would say the way to stop it is to use a 5/16 tape kit to set the shield. Then back seal it with Urethane. That is really the right way to do a shield. The old school way. Now days a mobil installer comes out and just barely scrapes the pinch weld enough so he can primer it and run a bead of Urethane to set the glass. Make sure no moulding clips are touching the glass on the top or the sides and make sure the rubber stops on the bottom of the glass are there.
