Okay, so the job is 77-130 in the manual. The gasket has two joints in it where it was fused together. The location of the joints form a short U and a long U in the gasket. The short U goes towards the back of the car.

The manual also says that the part of the weatherstripping barb that has many serrations should point up, which makes the bald spot on the weatherstripping face down.

The directions have you remove the front and side retaining rails that would grab the single barb from the underside. I loosened the screws but did not completely remove the rails. The sunroof still does not seat completely. I am having difficultly getting the weatherstripping to fully seat into the forward corners-- although that may not be related.

I can manually seat it the last little bit so for now I am going to just let it sit with the sunroof compressing against the gasket and maybe it will relax over the next few days.
