Default Roof Rack question

I just got the OE roof rack for my B8 S4 (sedan) and figured you folks might have more experience with it than the S4 bunch. While it fits fine, it looks like rain could drip into the car. There is a space left on both sides of each tower where the window weatherstrip isn't tight against the frame (circled area). Does anyone have experience with this? Is it a problem while the car is sitting out in rainy weather?



TIA

That doesn't look installed correctly.
