there you go, good luck mang!
IIRC, the 'comfort' glass is basically radiation blocking glass that has a rainbow color effect that's visible when looking at the glass from an angle, similar to the iridium coating OAKLEY puts on its sunglass lenses. You could always ask your dealer if you're not 100% positive.

If your rear seal looks like that chances are the sunroof seal and front windshield top seal also needs replacing. I've started mine and I'll finish the front in the next days.

I ordered my replacement from ECS Tuning also however, I can't recall which one. I just went by the pics in their website and luckily it fit. Providing them with a VIN# shouldn't hurt. Install is very easily done, you should have no problem. I'm about to order my front windshield seals soon as they are now beginning to look like cookie crumbs.

What is the difference between vehicles with or without comfort glass. What is comfort glass?

There were a few repair threads out that just needs a small piece of felt. I recall the noise sounding like a metallic or clinging sound. The seal around the roof is also very easy to change and really makes a difference in the cabin sound. Mine looked very good by itself, but when I compared it to the new one the old seal was really hard but not cracking but still needed to be replaced.
