I did mine the way corvette Mag describes except I took off the T bar pins so the new seal would not roll over. Let it dry overnight, then put the spacers back in that clamp to the pins and then check for leaks.
You may need less spacers with the new rubber.
I also removed the plastic headliner from each T top during the install process.
