Quick question- What is the part number for the outer hard rubber seal that goes around the sides and bottom of the back glass? I found a part number but it appears to be for the inside of the hatch as it comes in a roll and the part I need is formed to the shape of the glass.. Also, what is the proper method for installing this seal? Does the whole rear glass panel need to be removed and reinstalled with new adhesive or can the rubber seal be installed without removing the glass? Is this something best left to pros at a glass shop? Any special tools required? Your help is appreciated.

It's in the FSM under GW. Go to page 14 for the procedure on the 2007 model. The part is called the "back door window molding."

Personally, I'd take it to a glass shop to get it done. Windows that big are a bear to work on and a decent glass shop will be set up to do it fast and get the right amount of adhesive on it so it doesn't look like garbage. Since you're going to re-use the window, which is the bulk of the cost, you're just going to pay for the molding and the 1/2 hour or so of labor it'll take for them to swap the part out.
