The Daniel Carpenter brand of weatherstripping or Soff Seal brand seem to work best for me in regards to most Fox weatherstipping needs. Not sure if Soff Seal makes the sunroof seal or not, but DC does.
There are two seals, the one on the body under the sunroof that goes over the pinch weld on the sunroof opening. The other is actually on the sunroof glass itself. Make sure both areas are clean of grease, grime, etc. before install. Make sure to seat both seals properly and evenly. Seals need to be at a decent temperature when installing and fitting, so at least 65 Degrees or more IMHO. That should pretty much cover it. Take your time and everything will work great.
