This is a job that is harder than it looks. I have seen more of these done wrong than right. My advice:

- find an original car so you can see how the seal goes in the different areas, note how it curls over along the sides.
- get a real Mercdes seal
- be prepared to fix rust in the channel
- remove every scrap of the old seal and adhesive
- use Wurth Rubber Cement
- remove the boot (trunk) lid
- practice fitting it before you apply the adhesive because you have very little time to position the seal when you put it in for real
- work in two-foot sections
