Paul, I suspect it would be MUCH better to find a thicker glazing strip,
rather than trying to double up with the strip you have plus a thinner one.
Go back to the "Auto Glass Co" and tell them your problem, they almost
certainly have a thicker glazing strip available.

Another question perhaps worth investigating : Is your new windshield
actually laminated safety glass, as required by US law?  Being thinner makes
me wonder if perhaps it is tempered glass, which is AFAIK forbidden as
windshield in the US.
