Hi Guys-
I have the new seal, and I've been searching here and Pelican - found several posts/threads - just curious if anybody has anything to add that wasn't covered in threads out there based on your BTDT.
One thing I'm not totally sure about - once you pop the headliner down in front - and you do this with sunroof slid back a few inches - how exactly do you remove the headliner? Does it slide forward? I saw one post mentioning you have to bend it a little...?
Thanks!

Yes, slide the headliner back after you pop the front clips out of the sunroof. Undo the brackets front and back on both sides and lift the sunroof out.

I was supposed to do this over this past weekend but my battery had died so couldn't slide the sunroof back - didn't think about hooking up my jumpers to the other car for a minute to slide the sunroof until yesterday. Duh. Hoping to get started on it tonight or tomorrow night.
Thanks for the info guys.

Quick follow up-
The seal I removed - the rubber tube inside it is shorter than the velvet seal itself - about an inch on each side. Is it supposed to be like that?
Other than that the removal was waaay easier than expected - just need to do the gluing then bolt 'er back up.

How much time did the whole thing take?

I literally am waiting for the glue to dry on this project right now. the Pelican write-up on this is PERFECT. Liver came off easily and the sunroof came out no problem. I ordered the front, rear and that rubber rear seal to replace them all - so far- they look great and went on super easy. the old glue was so bad, the seals peeled off with no trouble and left almost no residue behind. I worked the metal over with Goof Off and used Gorilla glue to attach the seals- it's a LOT more forgiving that the 3M stuff and if you do get some some on the paint of the car, it comes off relatively easily and i's waterproof.
Anyway- it went really well and I have to thank every contributor to these DIY threads for their AWESOME info. I fixed my horn using this info and a weird tail light issue - you guys are awesome!!
to answer the above posters question, I started working on it at 1 PM, it's almost 4 now and i'll have it all together in 30 minutes. You gotta love Porsche engineering- everything works together pretty well!!
