Did one side yesterday. Probably took four hours in total, but that includes all the required cleaning and scraping after removing the old seals,I used the GBody replacement parts as i couldn't afford the OEM GM ones. My initial view is that they were too small when i offered up the first fit.
They're not, they just stretch into position. I started in the roof centreline and worked out from there. The seal pretty much dropped into position in ten minutes! The one real problem was the front trim piece couldn't be removed as the screws were all stuck in place. It took me an hour to squeeze both lips into place before I was satisfied. The other option was to drill out the screws and simply remove the trim. Doing it this way would have been much simpler.
I found almost no rust underneath the seals either.
I just posted this to advise anybody that this is not a major job, just need a sunny day and no distractions:biggrin:
