My son and I just finished repairing his 2011 Lariat in under 3 hours. Best instructional video I’ve seen on RU-vid. We were able to recline the seats to keep from removing them, but followed the video and it went smoothly. Especially like it when tool sizes are given. Saves a lot of guessing. Thanks again!

This is the best instructional video on RU-vid. You can see everything from the instructor's view. It’s step by step articulate. No bull meandering talk. My son in law and I started at 7:30 AM. We finished at 1:00 PM. Took a 45 minute break for lunch. About 4.5 hours work. Parts $112.00 dealership wanted $2,000. Thank you so much, my hat is off to you.

I had an issue where after programming/re learning the sunroof motor, it would not tilt up after closing to seal with the roof line but everything else worked no problem. I chased this issue for 2 weeks only to find out it was something so simple causing it. I did not bend back the stops…. I even removed the assembly and replaced the components again thinking I had a batch of bad parts. How frustrating, but it’s all fixed now. Just wanted to comment this so other people that have the same issue can check this. Thanks for the great instructional video.

I decided to pay a little over $120.00 and watch a video from AutoRex. it took me and my son 6 hrs, but all well worth the money saved. From Odessa, Tx.Thanks again for that perfect video.

Thank you for posting this, for posting the parts (and vendor), and for calling out the tool specifications.

8/11/19...I never post reviews but this video tutorial is absolutely incredible. My sunroof wouldn't close, so, I took my F150 to my local Ford store and they diagnosed it as needing a whole new track assembly and quoted me $2500.00 for the repair. After finding your video I purchased the same kit you show from the Sunroof Doctor ($120.00 including shipping). I followed your video step by step and everything came together just as it does in your video. My total time invested in the repair was about 3 hours and my sunroof works perfectly! Thank you for this video!

7 years later and you’re video is still incredible. I fast forward through most of it because I’m not currently doing the repair. But I wanted to get an idea of what it was gonna take. It was very daunting to think about as I’ve heard it’s a very invasive repair and I just bought the truck recently. Dealership told me about 750 minimum to fix, shop told me over 1k. I don’t have that money. The $90 kit is gonna be otw shortly and I’m gonna be watching this video again the day of the install. I greatly appreciate you. I feel super confident I can get this fixed much sooner than I thought. Much love to you

@rreynolds7355 2 года назад
This problem reflects POOR ENGINEERING. Check out how easy it is to repair a BMW sun roof...they don't even touch the head liner apparently. I will give FORD the credit for the best tail gait step. The Denali has nothing to office over the safety bar for holding onto. I hope FORD engineers do not change their design. Generally love my 2011 F250 King Ranch Diesel but praying nothing else goes wrong out of warranty with only 45,000 miles. This $3000 the dealer wanted makes me reconsider an extended warranty if I can find one.

Best how-to video EVER! Dude, you saved me a fortune!!!!! Ford wanted $2600 to fix my sunroof. Another garage wanted $2000. After seeing your video I went ahead and bought the kit, a few new metric tools and followed your instructions on my computer as I did the install. I literally just finished. It took me 8 hours (including clean-up and a quick break for lunch). Clearly I am not a mechanic. I'm happy to report it works!!!!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough! FYI: My truck is a 2013 Lariat so it was just about identical to the platinum.

I don’t typically write reviews regarding the content of RU-vid instructional videos but this video is EXCEPTIONAL and deserves the recognition! I purchased the replacement parts from The Sun Roof Doctor and made the repair myself following this video step-by-step. It didn’t miss a thing in the process of the repair and It saved me over $2,400 from the quoted dealer price! One small hick-up involved re-calibration of the motor (my confusion only) but a call to The Sun Roof Doctor resolved that in 5 minutes! I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

I was coming home from work and my sunroof got stuck in the open position. Called around town and found very few willing to do the job. Of the two that said they would, one wanted $1,425 and the dealer wanted $2,500. The dealer said they couldn't tell me what parts I needed until they looked at it for $90, and then would not be able to get to it for two weeks. I went online, saw your video, bought the parts through Amazon, and my wife and I did the job ourselves for $65. We took our time and had lots of interruptions as it was Labor Day weekend. Bottom line though is that thanks to you, we got it done and saved a lot of money. Important note to future watchers: be sure to watch the video through to the end. Great video.

This was AWESOME Man, you are the king...have a 2011 F150 FX4, SuperCab, two suicide doors vs the full 4 door as in the video. But no different, just a bit easier with my truck as I was able to remove the headline from the inside to just get it out of the way. And didn't have to remove the seats or the sub-woofer under the back seat...6 hours, start to finish. This also included drilling out the rivets twice (which required a trip the hardware store). When I was testing prior to installation back into the truck, I ran the rail up too far and it popped out. Didn't want to chance breaking it so figure I'd just redo the rivets again. Awesome, awesome video!!!! Saved me a boatload of money. And for anyone else who it thinking about doing this, it's not all that hard, all you need is patience and a few hours...patience is key, take your time and reference the video. Seriously, not that hard to do. Here is the parts list from the video and a few suggestions: Phillip head screw driver Small ended screw driver 90 degree pick tool or something similar to remove plastic covers Pry tool T20 Torque T25 Torque 4mm allen head 7mm hex head 8mm hex head 7mm socket 8mm socket 13mm socket 15mm socket - Only needed if you are removing the seat. T50 Torque - Only needed if you have to remove the seat-belts. 5/16 drill bit - Some smaller ones too in case you need to drill out more of the rivets Rivet gun - Extra rivets too (3/16 x 1/4" Grab, use aluminum easier to break)…Just in case. Brake Cleaner Rubber Gloves Table PATIENCE and TIME!!! Thanks man...Awesome job!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you AutoRex!!!! Get this; I called the dealership in Harlingen TX (don't ever go there Boggus Ford) and they tried to charge me for the parts, are you ready for this? A whooping $1200 and labor for another $1000 WOOOOOW! But it gets better. I didnt have all the tools necessary to do the job so I took it to a local body shop and they say yeah no problem. I bought the parts and they said labor would cost $300 and I was ok with it. Two days later without hearing from them I called them and they told me that they couldn't do it without removing the windshield, center console and both front seats and I just laugh at them. I told them to put couple of bolts in the sunroof and I drove to my house. It took me about 8 hours and repeating the video and had to buy the ratchet cutting tool but all in all it went awesome! It went dark on me so I couldnt test hook up to the controls yet do to the fact that I still have some bolts to put back on but overall YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! IF I ever meet you I buy you a few dozen beers man! The only thing I was bug down with was that black weather bar that screws to the actual plastic parts and maybe it could have been explain better but at the end I figure it out and I figured you were pretty ready to be done by then so it is all good. I thank you so much! You saved me a ton of money and because of you everyone around my family thinks I am a bad ass cuz I did it all by myself. Of course every time someone was around I hid the phone so they couldn't see it lol but do not worry My brother has the same truck and I will make sure that you get all the credit!!!!

(that's with a Tim Hortons coffee break mid way) The dealership wanted to install a completely new sunroof for over $2000, and after I showed them this video and where to buy the parts they said it would still cost me at least $1000 in labor. Happy to have my sunroof working again just in time for the nice weather, without it killing me in the financial department. Thanks again!

Not sure what 121 people could possibly not like about this step-by--step super thorough and idiot proof video. I bought a $24 sunroof repair kit on Amazon, even had one end of the a bar snap and did a split repair with the old part with a piece of plastic and 4 screws and adjust the left side of my sunroof after reinstallation by removing the motor and moving the arms up. All went exactly as shown. This is what we all want to find on You Tube but only a few like AutoRex do it best. Thanks very, very for tis. Even with a warranty on my 2010 F150 I could not find a place even willing to do this repair. Save thousands by using this.

I am by no means a mechanic and I was able to do it myself with the help of my kid for the removal and installation of the sunroof frame. It took me about 8 hours total. I did run into an issue where the sunroof wouldn’t open at all when I first installed it. The tilt worked but not the slide. I ran out of daylight so my plan was to work it this morning. I figured I’d give it a run before removing the headliner and checking the motor.. said a little prayer and it opened!

I ended up leaving the seats in and just working on the repair inside the truck, drilling out old rivets, cleaning track and applying generous LUBE on track and track assembly parts. I reclined the seats enough to rest the headliner and sunroof on the 2 headrests. I then placed some empty boxes on the front seats to support the rest of the headliner. I pushed this off for the last 1.5 years and finally decided it was time, since the upcoming fireworks show is a drive-up. It sure is nice to have it working again. Thanks for the tutorial!!

Echoing all the positive comments here, but I was especially appreciative of the fact that you filmed all of the actual steps vs starting them, then jumping the video to the next step. Gave me time to follow along and also made sure I wasn’t missing any nuanced parts. Personal Note: the bolts that bolt down the seat are threaded through the exterior of the car frame and tend to rust. Not sure if this this is an auto regulation, but if not, what a design flaw; breaker bar even had a hard time loosening them.

This video is spot on and even better than the instructions that the kit comes with. Here's my .02 to help also: IMO you don't need to pull the front pillar covers off nor the front seats nor the side b pillar. The headliner I have taken out fully a few times and you can fold it and when you put it back in no issues. Also, I after I put the glass back in I didn't have it fully installed correctly, sitting to high, and when I went to go and try operating it the first time it was not opening like it was jammed. So my suggestion would be put the glass in but keep the screws loose so the glass is resting and then operate electrically the sunroof. Once you know it fully operates open and closed then adjust the glass and tighten the screws so it's properly lined up with the roof and sealed. Having a second set of hands does help for removal and reinstallation of the track system.

Agree fully removing the front pillars is unnecessary. Initially I left the front passenger seat in but realized I wasn’t getting the sunroof assy out without removing the seat. I wasn’t about to fold the headliner and try to remove it...even with doing it as described in the video I had some small fold marks in the rear.

Mine wouldn't open either. With the screws loose it opens fine. Once I level it flush it's back to being stuck again. Any ideas?

I agree. Using the 5/8th inch drill mentioned in the video caused me to drill through the plastic for two of the rivets. The fix was simple, though. I just used rivets with large heads and put a small washer underneath for the rivet to compress in.

Richard, I think I did the same thing too. I may have not had the sliders fully forward (i.e., in the "fully closed" position), so I might have to remove the headliner and manually adjust the motor to make the sliders go fully forward/fully closed.

First, awesome video. Second, I found some places to save time. I only had to remove the front passenger A pillar. I pulled the top of the driver’s A pillar, but didn’t bother with the B or C pillars. You can remove and reinstall the roof liner without messing with those pillar covers. This also means that you only need to remove the door gaskets along the top edge, not all the way to the bottom. While I understand that you feel it makes it easier to move around, you also don’t need to remove the seat. Because of your video, on my first try, I was able to complete the repair in less than 4 hours. Over half of that time was on the actual repair of the track. Drilling out the rivets was a royal pain so I ended up opting to use a dremel to cut the heads off. Dealer wanted $2400 for repair, my parts cost was $80 including the rivet gun I had to purchase because I didn’t have it already. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you Autorex!! Thanks to the confidence I got from watching your video I am buying the kit for my 06 F250 Crewcab. And going to tackle this job on my own! Until I watched your video I was skeptical about doing it, because the other YT videos were not as detailed as yours. A local shop quoted me $700 to replace my sunroof assembly with a USED sunroof out of a salvaged truck. Everyone else was over $1500!! So you saved me almost 600 bones minimum! And I'll be replacing the broken parts with new parts from sunroofdoctor. Which I'm sure will last much longer than the brittle, already sun beaten plastic out of a wrecked truck! I subscribed.. So I'll let you know how it goes on my F250.. Any helpful advise on doing a 06 F250 Crewcab Lariat? Thanks again!!
@AutoRex101
@AutoRex101 7 лет назад
+JB plays Thanks for the comment! The F-250 headliner removal process is different, but the differences are subtle and the entire sunroof removal process is much easier on an F-250. More room to work. I cringe whenever a shop installs a used sunroof! That is not the correct fix IMO. A used unit is far more expensive than the repair kit, plus there is no telling when it is going to fail and you're right back to square one! Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. 👍

There are subtle differences in the F-250 but they are minor and you should have no problem getting the headliner down. I find the F-250 much easier to do because the larger cab gives more room to work.

I wanted to thank you for this video. Bought a kit from the Sunroof Doctor and the instructions didn't tell me much but your video was a lifesaver. Mine was a 2006 Buick Ranier but the process was the same. lowered the headliner and took the sunroof out the liftgate and did the repair. The only issue I had was the bumps at the end of the track. The piece on the backside could not be removed so I had to carefully beat the bump down to slide the assembly out and then pry them back up once the new assembly was in the track. Everything is back together and working great.I just wanted to leave my thanks and tell you what a superb video this was! Well Done

This video is spot on. I had a few differences in my 2012 F250, but pretty much the same. I did mine over this past weekend. You DON'T have to take it out of the truck. Fold your front seats all the way down. Take the headliner down. Unscrew the sunroof track, drop it down, repair it, and screw it back up. Worked great, and no seat removal required. It's helpful if you have someone to assist when you do the motor housing, but i did it all myself.

At one time basically all aspirin was made by Dow Chemical but colored, shaped etc for each middle man who sold it at a wide range of prices for the same thing.. FORD is no different. Even Harley-Davidsons have parts made in Japan and or China but most riders are ignorant to the fact.

I also didn't have the B-Pillar to mess with. I thought I screwed it yup and then came back to watch the end where you recalibrate. After recalibrating, my sunroom works like a charm. I did this by myself and it took 3 hours. Had my wife help lower the assembly and then helped raise it when it was done. Again, thank you.
