My car had a lip that went all around the opening that the weatherstrip went in. This is at the open side of the opening not the back side. My car did not have the pieces in the corners to tuck the weatherstrip under. Who knows what the previous owner did. Most of what he did wasn't good. I have some pics on my phone and in downloads folder on my computer but haven't had any luck posting them. Looking at the pics Randy posted I do not see the lip but on W78's pic I can see it. Looking at that pic where the paint scraper is on the roof I can see the lip I am talking about. On my car that is not part of the roof and does not come with a new roof skin. I managed to remove part of the roof skin that lays on top of the part with that lip which that part lays on top of the roof frame and is all spot welded together. Once painted it all looks to be one piece and part of the roof. I have a couple pieces of the part I am talking about at a sheet metal shop I may go back there and pick up tomorrow. I may just glue the weatherstrip down and put those corner pieces in and save a lot of money.I think I managed to get the pics up and a drawing of what I am talking about.
