I’ve been fixing power sunroofs off and on since the 80’s. Amazing that after all these years they still can’t get a simple mechanism design right ‼️

@valdorobantu290 4 месяца назад

what do you expect from the cheapest trucks ever built, bunch of TRASH

@kip3208 4 месяца назад

The culprit is your seals sticking, realized that after doing 2 sets of track guides. Keep your sunroof seals lubed and it will save you time and money in the long run. The recommended lube (Krytox) is pretty pricey but it works.

@bmwdave52 4 месяца назад

Which Krytox would you recommend?

@waltershue3969 4 месяца назад

@@bmwdave52⁠GPL205, first time I opened mine to clean and lube it, I found enough excess grease to re-lube it several times, go figure LOL It did surprise me how much dirt had accumulated on the seals but mechanism was quite clean

@kip3208 4 месяца назад

@@waltershue3969 then someone used too much of the wrong stuff. I tried regular silicone lube and it worked for about a week. The Krytox works so well you barely need any at all. I put a little on back in October and it is still going strong. Will probably reapply here soon.

Love this channel. I don't have a Ford or sunroof issues, but I enjoy watching and learning because you never know. Great job Mayson!

@roberteshelman5917 3 дня назад

My sunroof would not initiate to open and I was very concerned because someone told me a dealer could charge as much as $3K to fix. This turned out to be an easy fix for me. So don't be afraid to take this project on. It was very easy to remove the top glass and do a visual inspection. I found two plastic fragments in mine. No signs of damage to the rails so that leads me to believe the broken plastic may have been there from the previous owner. Removed those and then applied some lubrication around the seal to allow easy opening/closing. Runs beautifully now.

@larrybrellenthin4247 4 месяца назад

The best fix for this is get a solid roof with no glass😊

Still a problem when they put all plastic for metal parts

Dang Mason!!! Slow down! Those scratches wreck all the work done. But I think I’ll put some making tape to protect my baby!! Thanks for the advice! It’s the hot sticky mess that breaks em. I use the jigaloo on my finger after I wash the truck!!

I am having this exact problem. Thank you. Going in for warranty.

@odhutch5806 3 месяца назад

I had the broken tracks on my 2018 F-150 Platinum under warranty. North Bay Ford in Santa Cruz told me that the mechanic who worked on these had left, and no other mechanic did. They sent me to Lott's Stereo and Upholstery. Owner told me, no problem, we do a lot of these. They fixed it quickly and well, and I paid them about $250, then took the receipt back to the Ford dealership. About a month later Ford called me and I picked up a check for the full amount. Lott's told me when I open / close it, hold the button until it opens / closes completely. Don't stop halfway. Not sure why, but I'm following his instructions.

The sunroof on my 1992 Mercedes that lives outside still works…with all this plastic no wonder they break.

That broken plastic part looks like the perfect candidate for the superglue/charcoal trick.

got one at work right now waiting on approval that has broken guides and leaking water down onto the bcm and causing alot of issues. so i sold the whole track just incase of it being messed up

He did a great job, but I didn't see him clean the tan roof liner inside (and I did see some finger prints) ... but he's such a great guy to watch and his passion is fantastic.

@skidooextreme2233 4 месяца назад

I had the same issue, track broke. I let it go to long snd unfortunately the cable wound itself into the headliner near the motor. If i could only replace the guide cable on one side it would work again

@arnoldcorns8879 Месяц назад

So you never protect the seats if you work on the interior? Specially light colors??

@luiscastillo861 15 дней назад

rail of the passenger side moved all the way back and cannot make it move upfront,. Any suggestions?

How do you adjust the motor cables? Mine jumped timing. I replaced the arms and cleaned the tracks but it’s not in the right position

My truck is doing the same thing , only coming down on one side. If those new tracks didn’t fix it then what’s the part number for the parts to fix it?

@FlatlineLancer 4 месяца назад

So what do we do when the arm is broken like that? Ive replaced the tracks twice and now the arm is broken.

@bigjohn2811 2 месяца назад

Moonroof, nice clean interior, touch screen infotainment system, no rust, etc......not a real pickup.

Bet they freeze closed from precipitation and plastic is more brittle in those temperatures..

@roceye 4 месяца назад

Those are not nearly as easy as you make it seem, lol. well done.

@Kokomo365 Месяц назад

The front passenger side drain tube came loose on my '16 F150 XLT which allowed water intrusion and the footwell carpet and padding got swamped. Took a week to get it all dried out. The hose fitting wasn’t barbed and there was no retainer clamp. Sold the truck. Never buying a Ford again.

@MADMEATHEAD1 4 месяца назад

Is there a fix for the slow cracking "sunshade"? Sometimes, it won't close at all!

@phazerboy 4 месяца назад

May have the plastic chunks from the guide rails in the sunshade track. Put it in vent position, pull off the accordion blind, look to see if your guide rails are cracked or broken, if so you need those. Next open the shade and glass, stand on the seats and look carefully in the tracks for plastic chunks. The sunshade track is on the inside. If the shade has been closed on something or yanked on the cables could be damaged but kinda rare.

@MADMEATHEAD1 4 месяца назад

@phazerboy the shade opens fine all the time and closes ok when its cool outside. When it's hot outside it usually won't close. Always creaks and cracks when closing but sounds like it coming from rear of cab

@AT-wl9yq 4 месяца назад

@@MADMEATHEAD1 The sunshade isn't solid like it is on most vehicles. It rolls up like the ones on a house. Its spring loaded, and that sometimes goes bad. Also, It has to be lined up perfectly in the track. If the 2 sides are not even, the shade itself will flex and make noise. If the vehicle is out of warranty, close the shade and the glass, and never fool with it again. Thats a panoramic sunroof, not a regular one. Its huge, expensive and very fragile. If you have an extended warranty, its covered. Also, make sure both pieces of glass are secured properly to the track. sometimes they can get loose and fly right off the truck while driving.

@phazerboy 4 месяца назад

@@MADMEATHEAD1 if the noise is from the rear it is the shade itself making noise as it unrolls. The frame has to come down, but much easier and not much more work to take it out. If it were me I would purchase the extended warranty from Ford probably cost around $1800 not sure as price varies. They require an inspection but they probably won't catch that. Then in a few weeks have it fixed. Then you are under warranty again for a few more years. Be sure and complain about the phazers when they start making noise. Just those 2 repairs will be more than you paid for the extended warranty. If it needs the sunroof frame you will be more than the warranty on that alone. And when the right side heater actuator requires a dash out you will be thankful.

@michaelminauro4180 4 месяца назад

When I got my 2018 150, it was a year and a 1/2 old, and they were shot, and they sold the truck to me like that.They were replaced under warranty.Would they still replace them under warranty if it was beyond three years

@ironmike742 2 месяца назад

If your truck is still under the factory warranty, they will

@AT-wl9yq 4 месяца назад

Not the F150, but on other models that Ford makes, the track is built into the roof, and is not serviceable. The only way to fix it is to chop the entire roof off the car, and replace it. Its a $12,000 part. That doesn't include the 3 motors and labor. If the same thing breaks like on this F150, you need to replace the roof.
