I've never done the job, so view this advice with a jaundiced eye.

I've the seal can only be installed using a block of wood and a rubber
mallet to pound it into the groove.

I believe the gasket is press fit into a channel.  Sounds like yours has
come apart, time for a new gasket.

 Hi,

 The sunroof gasket on my 1990 350 Rodbender SDL keeps pulling away from the
 insert in the roof gets jammed in the sliding roof panel when it gets
 lowered from vent to closed position.  Usually in the drivers rear corner.
  I can hold the gasket in place with something thin and gradually close the
 roof.

 Does the gasket shrink over time (and then pull away from the corners?) or
 should it be glued in place, or just replaced?  Alternatively, I can just
 keep it closed, but I like the open air in the summertime!

 Thanks!
