Default Windshield help

Hey guys, I need a little quick help.

Something hit my windshield and broke it, right where I have to look through to drive. I had a company come out and replace it, but I don't like how the new one looks at the top (where it meets the roofline).

There is a rubber strip at the top, but it isn't touching the roof. I think it's a bad replacement or install job. I took a picture of what the new one looks like, can a couple of you guys take a picture of what it looks like from the factory and post it on here?

You can see in the picture, there is a rubber strip that is sticking up, I think it is supposed to be against the roof. It isn't touching anything.

Your pics could have been clearer but I can still see the gap between the seal and the body. There should be NO gap above the rubber seal.

UPDATE:

The company came back out this morning and installed a new Mopar windshield. The one that I was complaining about was an aftermarket unit. The Mopar windshields are made to tighter tolerances and have hangers built into them to perfectly align the window. The aftermarket ones don't have the hangers, and frankly, are not as perfect a fit.

If you even need a new windshield, insist on the Mopar factory part! It really is better.
