Sunroof gasket/seal?

Has anyone ever replaced the felt/rubber gasket seal that runs around the inside if the sunroof opening? Mine's looking a little worn.

I have. It fits into a channel built into the roof panel. No glue is required. It is a friction fit. All I did was open the sunroof, pull out the old seal and carefully press the new seal into place. It helps to soap the barb on the seal where it fits into the channel.

You can probably also use a touch of silicon grease instead of soap...

Ok, that's kind of what I was assuming looking at the seal itself, but didn't want to start pulling until I was sure.

Anyone have the part number? I can't find anything on autohaus or pelican.
