Windshield seal fit

Does this look right?

Should the lips that form the groove go in towards the inside more?

Seems like the seal needs to come down some so it will go in.

I've got leaks originating at the upper corners and coming in at the lower corners. The water comes in along the glass not between the rubber and metal opening.

It is a Precision seal. Their instruction page does not show the lips.

The Drivers side corner seems to fit a little better.

Got a truck not long ago that had a slight gap at the top passenger side of the front window. Upon pulling the window I found what is pictured. Crazy that the bottom 80% of the window frame was perfect and the top was a joke.
Starting to think the leaking rear sliding window seal caused the b-pillar to rust.
