Default Hatch weatherstrip replacement question

Do you have to remove the "halo" trim piece to replace the hatch weatherstrip?

According to my 96 service manual, you don't. From the manual:

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1) open rear lift window.
2) Front and rear cargo trim panels as described in this section.
3) Side trim panel screws.
4) Rear defogger electrical connectors at strut lower brackets.
5) Weatherstrip from vehicle

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1) Weatherstrip (position weatherstrip starting at the lower corners of the window opening, seating the weatherstrip firmly to the rear body panel flange around the entire window opening)
2) Rear defogger electrical connectors at strut lower brackets.
3) Side cargo trim panel.
4) Front and rear cargo trim panels.
5) Close rear lift window.

Hope that helps...

You do have to detach the window lifts.
