Default Terrible windscreen (windshield :)) replacement

Good afternoon from the UK. I've recently had a windscreen replacement carried out through my insurance company, and to be honest, they haven't done a great job. The trim is too short and there is a gap between the bottom corner and the cowl, exposing the bottom edge of the glass, and part of the car's framework. The company responsible have asked me to get pics of other s2000's and if there isn't a gap, they will order OEM trim and do another replacement. I've attached a pic of mine. I would be very grateful if anyone could post a pic and hopefully I can have my screen rectified. Thanks, Mark.

Could you take a photo from a bit further away ---- to better ID the site in question?

Thanks!

I"m not exactly sure what angle you've got in your pic. It's low resolution.
Here are some quick pics of my screen though. I had my windshield replaced last week.

The seal has to be pulled quite hard for it to fit on our car. Mine had to be redone. Did they get the rear view mirror back in?
