Shouldnt be any gaps, any thing too big to seal with silicone should have some pvc trim slid into the gap and sealed with a smaller bead of silicone, but without a pic its difficult to say apart from there should be no gaps

I would get them back should not be any gaps.I prefer to put a good line of sealer and then super glue a piece of trim ontop to cover the sealer are you sure they haven't done this most fitters cover all silicone now and it can look unsealed.

small gaps i just silicone seal,bigger gaps i fill with foam,allow to cure,cut flush and then put the trim on using silicone.
