Default Door mirrors on 1982

The outside mirrors on my '82 are tipped inward, that is to say they are not level. There is not another Corvette around right now where I am to check so I have a question that needs an answer.
I think the mirrors have been taken off and have been reinstalled incorrectly. There is a gasket/rubber insert between the mirror and the side of the door. The thicker portion of this gasket/rubber insert is at the bottom of the mirror which I believe causes it to tip inward and I don't think it should be that way. If this gasket/rubber insert were installed an the top of the mirror I believe the mirrors would be level.
However, before I tackle the task of reversing the gasket/rubber insert, can anyone tell me which is the correct way to install this gasket/rubber insert.........thicker portion at the bottom of the mirror with the mirrors tipped inward...... or thicker portion at the top of the mirrors and have them level.
Thanks for anyone who takes the time to answer.

I just look at mine and the thick part is at the top. My mirrors sit level.
