On a 1 to 10 I would call it a 2. Like Coyote said, removing the old glue really sux. Get some goo gone that works pretty well. I found the best way is to just use you finger and roll it. Use several or you will wind up with a blister from the friction. Don't stretch or pull the seal just let it naturally go down, start in the center rear and go one direction. Wen you come t the corners, again don't pull it just feed it into position. When you get to the end keep it in position and cut it a little longer maybe 2 mm and then bring this end to the other end. When adhering the seal you also have to be aware of letting the seal raise so keep it flush to the roof or you could get a little noise. Before you remove the old seal put a piece of blue painters tape on your roof so you can mark the center line. This way when the old seal is removed you know where to start.

Yes, keeping downward pressure to ensure the seal is flush is the way. If you cut it tight in the corners it will lift and the raised surface will cause noise. Also, after you initialize the roof it's possible you will still need to mechanically adjust the glass. Look at it from the outside and the front glass edge should be 0.5 mm below and the the rear should be 0.5 above.
