Sunroof seal..where to buy?

[The Darkside]

Next problem:
I just posted asking for installation tips on a headliner,now I need to get a new sunroof seal bought & installed.It's the seal that is around the glass & not on the car body.Someone once told me these are a real pain to replace & so I guess I'd better find out what I'm in for before tackling this job myself.
1st: where to buy the seal?
& 2nd: how hard to install ?

Thanks again,
The Darkside

I pulled the whole sunroof assembly out when I had the head liner replaced, because I wanted the sunshade re-fabricated too.

Once you get the whole assembly out, you will be able to get the glass out. Take the glass to a glass/trim shop and bring the seal with. They can seal it for you and make sure it is on there right.

I bought the seal last year and it was still availible through my local Buick dealer. It was about $65.

Make sure when you put the glass back into the whole sunroof assembly that you adjust the glass on the slide so that it is all the way up. You will see what I mean when you look at it. There are 4 adjusting screws (one in each corner) which allow you to move the glass up or down in the assembly. If you dont move it up, there will be a gap between the roof and the glass, and you will have water inside the car. (You dont want to backtrack, trust me)
