You'll save time by getting a professional car glazier to do it.

You can purchase the rubber seal. It involves a tub of hot water and washing up liquid! Soak the seal so it's more pliable, and then fit.

What are the benifits of the engine oil's additives that classified by API as SF,SJ,SL.. etc?

The best way is to purchase a new seal from your local motor spares store,or visit the scrap yard & get a used seal cheaper. I guess a garage would do the job but they'd charge too much.

Where does the coolant for your radiator go..where is the radiator?

Actually there is no need to replace the seal unless the rubber seal is torn.

Oil change 5w30 vs 10w30?

You can renew the seal by rubbung the rubber seal with a paint thinner, not a laquer thinner...it causes the rubber seal to expand whereby it is just as effective as a new seal...

Radiator fan relay?

I thought the question was "how do i replace the rubber seal..."

Engine running high?

Ok depending on the car, most rubber seals should just pull away from the metal frame. Grab the rubber seal from the top with your index and thumb and roll it downward. Once the seal is off, you will see how it goes back on.Like I said that works for most cars, some have metal clips to remove first.

I have a small case of oxidation on the top of my car, any suggestions?

If it is a factory sunroof it should just slide on and off with little effort. Aftermarket sunroofs normally will have clips you need to mess with to get the old one off and the new one will just slip right in. Most after market roofs need to have the door removed to get to the whole seal. Other wise it will not remove completely with out tearing and will be every difficult to reinstall. Factory you can do with out removing the sun roof door. Hope this helps. With out the Year make and model as well as knowing if it is a factory or aftermarket it’s pretty general advice. Wish I could help more.
