Once you get the glass off, removing the seal is pretty easy, there is not adhesive or anything, just a rubber grove that the seal "snaps" into.

Have not tried pouring water on it yet, but will do soon to test. There are no gaps or anything and the fit looks just as good as my non-leaking seal before it. Except this one doesn't have dried wax, bird droppings, and 12 yrs of age and crustiness...

    Looking great! Are these OEM euro sidemarkers? Which bulbs are you using?

    Some pics of the sunroof seal DIY would be great (location of the T25 torx screws etc).

    Yes, these are the OEM Euro lights from Turner. The bulbs I have are LED Cree Canbus: http://r.ebay.com/zcwk2f. No flicker at startup or bulb out notifications.

    I will take some more pics on the Sunroof later tonight

    Finished up the RCR setup tonight...

    Kept the stock bulbs in the bottom row of red running lights, put LEDs in turn signals, red brakes on top, and white reverse.

    They flicker on startup, which I will need to code off in PA...just need to find the software around here somewhere. When I sold my last E46 I kept the OBD cord...I knew I'd be back.
