Default Quarter window seals 95 convertible

Can anyone tell me if these gaps in the window seals are correct ? as I am getting copious amounts of water in the car when it rains, and it appears to be coming in somewhere behind the seats (wet carpet at the rear). Anyone got a pic of what they should look like, if they are indeed incorrect ?
Also on my rear window (in the top) there is a gap in the seal, I take it that this is not correct either ?

My '96 has no gaps. I don't drive in the rain much either. Difficult to see your gaps in the pics.

Ragjag, is it possible for you to take a picture of your seal arrangement ? I'd be much obliged if you could
In the first pic that I posted, there is a circle with an arrow, and that is where there is approx a 1/2" gap between the window seal, and the door seal. I think this may be where the rain is coming in

I can try to send a pic. My rear glass definitely has no gap. The door looks like a gap but the glass fits against the rubber and only looks like a gap. I can send a pic to your e-mail address but have not been able to include one in this form.

Let me know if you want me to send some pics.

Though it is hard to see, I've attached pictures of my 1996 with no gaps.
