He may have been planning to completly pull the old one...the molding sits on the windshield which 'floats' on sealant.
If you want to make sure it never leaks then you pull the windshield, remove the old sealant, put in new sealant, reinstall windshield, put in more sealant, put on moulding and hope you never crack the windshield...very difficult!
If that was the plan then I could see paying that much but to basically just glue the piece in you would be better just doing it yourself.
