Yes, I re-used the same gasket.  It dosen't leak whatsoever. I assume you're 
putting in the huge rear window that says "Scirocco" under the wing & all the 
windows......  It should go in the same way.  Make sure your gaskets are in 
good condition, and clean them well.  If you're really concerned about leaks, 
you can get a (large) tube of window sealer at your local auto parts store.
 
  Let's see;
-put the gasket around the glass.

-slide the bottom edge of the window/gasket onto the window-lip, making sure 
the gasket is properly mated to the frame.

-have a helper hold the window, and then simply pull the edges of the rest of 
the gasket through, and into place.  This will take quite a long time, and will 
be hard on your fingers, but have patience and it will all settle into place.  
The corners are REALLY fun :)
