I did this job in August, so I am fairly famiiiar with it. I bought both weatherstrips from FCPGroton. They were original Volvo parts. The prices Logan quotes are about right. My sunroof leaked, even though all four drain holes were open. The front and side weatherstripping was in bad shape, leaving lots of gaps. My rear strip was still pretty good, but I replaced it anyway. I spend a lot of time cleaning off the old glue. I took the sunroof out completely, which made the job easier, although to just replace the front/side strip you don't have to remove it. One thing I messed up on a little was the rear strip. I installed it a little too high/pround of the top of the sunroof. When I first turn the crank to open it, that rear felt catches on the rear opening in the roof, and doesn't let the sunroof drop down and clear the opening. I sometimes have to reach out the window and push down the rear of the sunroof while cranking it open. Once it drops down, I don't have a problem. Hopefully the rear felt will wear in and resolve this. The Volvo green book has a good description and diagram on sunroof removal. It's pretty easy. I think Bentley also describes it.
