The seal is one continuous strip. Start at the center of the rear of the sunroof and press it into the groove slightly all the way around. But the time you get around the whole way you want slightly more rubber left over than the space you have to cover (maybe an inch).

Then butt the two edges together tightly and push the excess into the groove (in effect compressing it)

If you stretch it to fit, it will soon return to its unstretched state and leave a gap between the ends.

It may take a couple of tries to get it right

Everyone I've had was split, with the joint in the middle of the back of the sunroof.....and they were pretty easy to remove, just presses on (upward from below the sunroof......open it and you can get to it.
