Wing window fail!

When I painted my truck last year I got new wing windows from LMC Truck. I don't know where they get their parts, but they rusted after 6 months, and have never sealed correctly! The glass doesn't even seat against the rubber on the back, had to add some black tape to help seal it.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has some pics of their wing windows, so I know how they are supposed to sit. I may rip these apart and rebuild them, but it's my daily. Prob will just get some OEM ones and call it. First though, I'd like to see what it's supposed to look like from the outside. The pics I have found in a Google search were pretty low res, but looks like my glass sits crooked in the frame in the Y axis both leaning in towards the cab, and back at the top.

Here are some pics of my 1 year old, rusty, brand new repop wing windows.

(Caviat - I do live at the coast, but my old wing windows weren't even close to as rusty after 50 years of use)
