Chimney Pot Cover ... too short ?

[rideforever]

There is some damage in the chimney, looks like long term water ingress .... on the top at the front is a shallow "cover" that does not overhang ... the prevailing wind (pretty strong in Brighton) points directly into it. Could this be letting in a fair amount of water ?
Thanks

A pot that badly damaged needs replacing,it will let in water and possibly crack further and cause damage.

Thanks. Trying to think of a simple solution; the back of the hip looks like it might be open and receiving rain flowing down the pot behind - I can concrete that shut. At the front, is there something I can stick on top, like another hip tile over hanging at the front, do they fit on top of each other or is there a slightly wider version that does?
Cheers
