Great stuff, JB. Looks really good.
Watch maybe the side windows...they push up the roof a few mm, barely noticeable. And the windows are under tension then. There are 2 screw under the door to adjust window height and tilt, just FYI.

Tell me about the glue you used...that part is quite tricky, as glue needs special treatment, like temperature/breathing time before bonding/etc.
I found out, that at least for the front, Liqui Moly 3805 Sekunden-Kleber did an astonishingly good job, whereas Teroson 444651 Kontaktkleber didn't.
The gaskets: It was a PIA...but if you carefully use e.g. a screwdriver you can bend the metal pieces slightly apart...and then it will fit AND hold really good.

@TRK: The gasket for the rear window seems indeed smaller, should fit though and might create less upward push for the hatch. There are a few contacts on Facebook in terms of the rubber seal. Might be worth a try.
