Default Quarter Glass Window Seal Replacement

Appearances are deceiving. It looks like the fresh rubber look of my quarter glass seals may be hiding the fact that they are too old to seal properly. I found the source of my rear hatch leaks to the quarter glass seals.

Anyone have tips on replacing these? The last time I did quarter glass seals was on a 944 and used some string to pull the seal on the inside of the car to get the inner lip to wrap around the interior trim panel. Should I use the same procedures? also, do the rear interior panels have to come out in the hatch? Mine are leather and 'wavy' so I may find that DIY in the search to see if I can straighten them out.

Expect rust underneath. Possibly quite a bit of rust.

Yes, it happens even in California...

I found the presence of it already on one area on the driver side rear of the car and about a 2mm on the passenger side on the side.

I was shopping around to see if I can find some rust repair guys, but I may do it myself. I have some experience with fiberglass work on cars. I did have a 944 with an abusive previous owner after all.
