Well 13 years later I finally just did this job. I put it off for a reason. Started Saturday and finished today. It actually was hell. Those that claim this to be simple are likely not the perfectionist that I am. In the end I ended up with a 2mm gap in the rear corners. I will end up redoing the entire project some other time. Also, no thread anywhere talks at all about how to deal with the rubber tubing at the ends of both seals. The seals I took off my car were original factory and it was obvious that there was no rubber tubing in the final one inch of each end. I trimmed the rubber tubing on the rear seal by peeling open the seal to expose the tubing and then snipped. I did not cut the tubing at the ends of the front seal and this was a mistake. After everything was done, getting the sunroof panel back in so that the brackets lined up was a major biotch. Working with 3M weatherstripping adhesive is no fun at all. In short, this is one of the most miserable jobs I’ve done on this car and will now have to do it again to make it perfect.

Good look with your project, I'm in the middle of it myself.
Thanks,
