Default IS 250/350 Top Windshield Seal - Pics Needed!

My wife had the windshield replaced in her IS350 last week. When Safelite installed it the top seal ended up being sunk in deep and it looks terrible. They are coming back tomorrow 6/10/14, to fix it. Can someone post close up pics of a factory top seal?

Thanks!

You have a top windowshield seal? I don't on my '06, and the glass is original to the car.

Can you get me pics of the top fitment then? Our windshield has a sizeable gap between the roof line of the car and the glass. There is also a rubber piece laying in the gap.

Thanks in advance!

Google "Lexus IS250 windshield" and check out the first 10 images. There are two good ones that shows a minimal gap and no rubber gasket/seal.

What windshield do you have? Guessing aftermarket AND the installer had some sort of seal added into the top where there wasn't one previously.
