Epub Cover, Thumbnail Covers, cropping off

So I've been doing ebooks for a while. I'm by all means 'no expert' I'm fairly savvy. I do all my books in InDesign, then tweak the shizzle out of them in Sigil. And then if the client wants a Mobi file, I either convert it using Cailbre or Terminal.
I am extremely close to being done, everything validates and I have tested it on: Kindle, Kindle Fire, ipad, Nook,, Kindle PC reader, ADE, Cailbre,, even sucky things like: Azardi, ehon, eReader, Firefox-ereader.

Now all of those physical devices and otherwise seem to show everything correct. And the book looks good.
But the customer says on the 'epub' file the cover gets cropped off.
The only place I see where it get's cut-off is on the thumbnail in ADE.
I've looked at my cover.xhtml, and my content.opf.
Nothing sticks-out at me?
Below is my code for; xhtml, opf.
Suggestions?
