To be fair I think windscreen damage can occur on any plane and there was no suggestion it had been wrongly fitted causing the crack.
Those have to be in elastic gaskets to compensate for thermal expansion, and failure as crack is relatively common, breakage is rare.
It may have been wrongly fitted, or the plane may have been damaged in the mounting area...those details are not known.

They can just be fitted wrong and then replaced with the replacement being fitted wrong in the same way as the first one.

Made fit again? Hahahahahahaha. More like larded with more debt to pay PE "management" fees then discarded like yesterday's kleenex when no more juice can be squeezed from the lemon.
No and for Media keen to get the boot in I note that Blinken's jet was unsafe to return from Davos. And yes it was a 737, but not a Max.
The 737 which lost its "plug" had been serviced by AAR recently for some avionics issue and the "plug" had been removed by the subcontractor.
Installation of the wi-fi system IINM?. But the claim of that specific door plug’s removal is disputed here.

Check out the several interviews with Ed Pierson, former long time Boeing senior project manager on the subject of the increasingly frequent “quality escapes” on the airframe components deliver by Spirit Aerospace to the Renton assembly facility.

Imagine the safety briefing for ejector seats, it would take longer than some flights!
A few tears ago an English bloke was found to have a live ejector seat in his lounge room, it would have been um, interesting if he'd pulled the cord.

After you wake up from the initial acceleration related blackout. 🙂
