Weatherstrip on top of windshield looks funky

I'm chasing down excessive wind noise and the weatherstrip at the top of the windshield looks strange. Is this how it's supposed to be installed? The glass is not factory.

My strip on top of windshield WAS much more narrow...due to sun etc it has all but crumbled away, when I inquired if it had and purpose in keeping out rain (the little we get here) was told no, the bonding agent holding the glass in place is doing that ....dunno what is try but re wind noise no idea sorry

Now that you mention it...I agree.should be one smooth rubber strip across from one side to the other.

That weather strip is not properly seated and has different profile compared to OEM part.
