Replacing rubber window seal

Hello,
Hope there is someone on here that knows a bit more about these things than I do!
The rubber seal around the rear window has started to come away over the winter and I think needs replacing, what is the best/cheapest way to go about this?
My usual garage doesn't tend to get involved with the bodywork, I have spoken to Vauxhall (its a 2005 model Astra), they can quote for the part (£189.60 inc vat :eek:) but they cannot fit it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you mean one of the windows in the back (relatively easy job to replace) or the rear windscreen? If the latter, check its not just a trim piece come loose, if its the main rubber, its a windscreen out job and your best bet is a local mobile fitter.0

Thanks for the response colino, its the rear windscreen, we have tried pushing it back in but hasn't worked unfortunately, will look into a local mobile fitter, thank you.£2000/£9000=22.2%0

Just glue it back in place. It's likely to be a 'trim' rather than a seal.Light blue touchpaper and stand well back !0
