Not sure but ill tell you tomorrow. Just picked up the stripping and plan to replace it tonight.
Im interested, take some pics!
Sorry I couldn't take pics. Under a time crunch and its pouring rain right now. It was cake! Tilt the roof up. 4 screws on each side. (2 Phillips and 2 torque). Pulled the glass off. Pulled old strip (there's a bracket holding the strip in each front corner with 1 Phillips screw). Aligned dots on new strip to corners. (I marked the old one just in case). Replaced the glass. Done. 20-30 minutes tops.
Thanks KBrummer, looks like I will be ordering some new weathersripping! Got a part number?
FYI, I had a slight leak at the rear seal. I took the forum advice and used a small gauge insulated wire (phone line was way too wide) and using a flathead screw driver, wedged the small gauge wire along the entire rear length of the seal. The sunroof opens and closes without difficulty, and during pounding rain I have yet to see even a drop get by.

I don't have the number handy but the dealership was able to look it up pretty quickly. $55 locally. Had it in the warehouse and picked it up the next day. I did notice that the new strip was a lot thicker and had an extra flap on the front edge that my original didn't have. Everything fit perfect but I'm still getting a drop or two in the rear center. It must be sneaking in behind the new strip or at the glass housing. Next step is to seal all inner seams between the weather strip and the glass housing/bracket.
