16' feet sounds about right. I can't tell you how hard it is to replace, but removing it is easy. It's kind of just glued on the lip there, it seems to me to just be press on.

Do I just press it on or do I need the adhesive?

do it right - get the adhesive. in cold weather the window may stick to the stripping, then youd have to fuss with putting it back on if it came up with the hatch.

Come on kiddo, use your brain. Of course it's not 16" long.

You can still get the real GM stuff, runs about $75.
