Coupe top window seals
I have a 98 Coupe and the seals for both windows on the top part are leaking, I found 2 part numbers and I was wondering if someone could verify the numbers for me.
This is the link to the page I found the numbers

They are very easy to install; take the top off and lay it upside down on something (use a towel or something under it so it doesn't scratch). remove the screws from the ends of the weatherstripping; take the weatherstripping off; replace with new.
The weatherstripping retainer has grooves that the weatherstripping goes into; just take your time and pinch the weatherstripping to seat it in the grooves in the retainers. It should become obvious when you see how the old ones come off.

You absolutely don't need the removal kit for the pieces you are replacing. A Phillips screwdriver is it. I do use a small ice cream stick to poke the weatherstripping back into the groove but be careful and don't use a sharp edge; the round edge of the ice cream stick works just fine.
When you take the weatherstrip off just pay attention to how it goes in the channels and you won't have any problem at all.
