can you give us the part number for the cable?

Saved my bacon. Thanks!

I have been arguing with my dealership about this issue in Canada and they keep telling me it’s normal. No right mind should think this is normal. I’m so glad you posted this video. I ordered this gasket and I’m going to get theses clowns to replace it. Is that on the passenger side. That’s where I’m having the issue

That wheel needs some polish. Looking pretty dry

Have they made a seal for the 2015 models yet?

Great video! Thanks 👍

My sunshade is stuck closed How can I initiate it that way on a 2017 explorer

How to replace the seal. Pretty easy. czcams.com/video/_MivWtGHq60/video.html

Can anyone tell me how much yall paid for the motor or where i can purchase at a good price?

Replaced my 2013 Explorer sunroof motor with the help of this video. It was a lot easier than I expected. Took me about 20 minutes by myself. Saved me about $400. Thank you sir

12:00 My moonroof headliner is stuck shut How do I initiate it?

Super!

They know how to "stand'. Yikes.

Ospho is a great product , i have skipped the neutralize step and paid the price for it , POR15 has a terrible reaction with ospho by the way.

I see you pull out the cable and put a new one in. My question is how does it connect or disconnect? Is there something in the back i need to do? Ty, your vids are awesome

Had this exact problem last year on a 2022 F150 and it just reoccurred after heavy rain yesterday. Stumped me for a long time. I could find nothing on the internet at the time about it. Even had Safelite check a windshield replacement that they had done because by coincidence the leak started soon after. But it was not their fault. The first symptom I got is no airflow through the vents because the cabin filter got soaked and would not allow airflow through it. Finally one day last December I had the idea to put my phone on video with flash on and stick it up through the fresh air vent door opening from the inside that goes out to the cowling. (recycle must be off for this vent door to be open for access ) The video revealed standing water down in the lowest spot on the right, I cleaned this area out with my shop vac by adapting a smaller hose to it and feeding it down in there. Worked till now when the holes have become clogged again. So happy to find your video because I did not know that the drain hole under the hood was visible. And I prefer your clean-out method over mine, easier. I had thought I would have to disassemble the firewall or fender wall or something to get to the drain holes. I say drain holes plural because I’m pretty sure there’s a lower one than the one you point out. That point is about 2 inches I would guess above a lower drain hole. Today because of your video I used an about 18 inch crochet needle which I used many years to fish walls to run wires and cables. This time I used it in the hole that you showed. Then I bent it a little bit and stuck it up in, through the inside vent door and down into the cowling. By rotating It in different positions and poking it down in there I was able to feel it go in the lower hole. Ran some water in the cowling while doing all this. Cabin filter now setting in the summer drying out. Fingers crossed. Btw, last December I posted about this problem under the title Mystery Leak on f150forum.com , under GAllen ( there is a photo posted there of the inside of the cowling) One other comment: I never had water dripping on the floor mat, at least that I noticed. Just the air flow through my vents practically became nonexistent due to the soaked cabin filter.

lower guide part no

Thank you so much for your videos! We successfully changed 2 broken arms and 2 cables guides by ourselves and didn’t have to drop the track. We were having what sounding like grinding from the motor when we would try to operate the sunroof and nothing would happen and it is still doing it after switching things out. Do you think maybe our motor is going bad? We initially thought maybe the cable was bound up somewhere, but now we know that is not the case. Mechanic we took it too didn’t know but seemed like he wasn’t interested in helping us.

Thank you so much! You solved my sunroof issue!! My sunroof got busted a while back and I had it replaced but apparently the person didn’t clean up all of the broken glass and it clogged the sunroof drains.

Thanks for the tutorial hopefully I can do my Explorer too!!

Having a similar issue on a 2020 f150! Do you have a video of that, or is it similar?

This worked great for my 2019 Subaru Forester. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

Your videos are great and extremely helpful. My sun shade won't retract and is stuck closed. Is there a way to retract the shade after the headliner is removed?

Trying to close mine but won’t after vent. Stays open just enough to drive you nuts with wind whistling thru it

Thanks for this. I have the delaminating around the trim there like this GTI and was wondering where the leak was. This makes more sense now.

Thanks!!! My 2017 Lincoln MKX sunshade would only close halfway. Did this procedure and Bam!!! It’s closing now. Thanks again.

Thanks! Thanks for the vid. Solved my problem!

How do I find a person like yourself in my area? I need someone to work on my sunroof.

Thanks for the video! Fixed my leak.

I have a 2013 ford escape 2.0 sel I’m not sure when it stopped working but I think it was when I changed the battery because we all know about the escapes power draw killing battery’s rite? But it hasn’t worked for a couple months I just tried this method and wasn’t able to get it to work I’ve checked every fuse in the car idk my next step would be to pull the control module out and make sure the connections are all good I’m just lost because the back lights are luminated but nothing works?

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Thank you for your detailed video instructions. I had 2 broken arms, a broken drip channel and one broken cable guide on my 2015 f150. I watched all of your videos multiple times. I purchased the cable guides, arms and drip channel and installed the cables without dropping the track. I started the project at 1pm and finished at 3:30pm. I successfully initialized it and everything works thanks to you!!!

Hey nice video bud. I did the steps but my sunroof stopped during the test. Made a crunching sound. Can't see anything obstructing.

Thanks for the video. My wife's 2019 just leaked the other day for the first time. I'm guessing that the drains are clogged (hopefully) but if not, now I'll know were to look next.

Any idea what to do if the buttons do not respond to the initialization? Map lights turn on but none of the buttons seem to work the roof or shade? Mechanic said the motors are receiving the electrical signal.

What was wrong with the track that it needed replacing? I have a rattle in the rear drivers side...going to try lubing the seals...also reinitiallized the sunroof and it helped a bit but wont know til the seals are relubed...thanks for all of the videos they have been a great help!

What procedure do you use when the sunroof is stuck open. The motor burned up while open.

Thanks mann! 2 weeks with the dealer and service department and they had scheduled to remove the entire roof to investigate further and just tested it after applying this fix and not a single creek. Wow!! awesome video!!

GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

I have a 2019 Lincoln Navigator and I try but I can't. The first 5 buttons are the same, the last one is different, it has a drawing of a seat so it can be lowered.

About time someone with great mechanical sense , THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thanks for the videos. They really help. However, the plastic part (the one which has the spring for the trough) you mentioned "is not available" is the one broken on my sunroof. Now what are my options?

My 2020 Ford Escape is having the same issue. They are not going to cover it under warranty, when is Ford going to issue a recall?

How about if the shade is not working? The shade is just fixed halfway. I tried the reprogramming procedure of the moonroof that you showed on your other video and the moonroof vents, closes and open. But after that, I cannot open and close again the moonroof. Cab you help?

Is it necessary to have both motors working in order for either to work. Swapped shade motor with roof motor. Ran the initialization and went as shown in other video. The roof motor was burned up. After initialization the sunroof still doesn’t work but I only have the sun roof motor installed.

You need to clean up your garage

How to get an Edge sunroof closed manually when it won't close quite all the way: czcams.com/video/hT2YdWq7NBs/video.html

Thank you

Just did mine. And it was clogged all the way up.

How do you close the shade cover if the glass closes but the shade wont? I have a 2008 Edge. Great videos, BTW!
