Replacing sunroof seal

It looks like I will need to replace the deteriorating sunroof seal proactively before it starts to leak. I’ve found the part available from Acura (70205) however a video or some details on removing the glass and replacing the seal are eluding me. My searches here turn up nothing. Anyone have the procedure or a reference for me?

Well technically sunroof doesn't seal in 100%. Instead it has a channel that will collect water and let it drain. Making sure that this drain is not clogged is far more important as there were occasions where clogged drain tube caused water to leak on ECU and causing all kinds of problems.

Anyways, I think that this weatherstrip just snaps in on the metal, like seals on the door panels. But it's just a guess.

Additionally, service manual mentions "calibration procedure" which might be useful if gap will be excessive.
