Sunroof Lariat

[dtomlin]

Does anyone have a problem with their sunroof leaking? I keep my truck in the garage, but I have been parked out during some Summer downpours and I have had a few drips come down through the microphone hole and upper concole. Both times I was parked facing down hill. I thought I would park uphill from now on.

The search you did before posting turned up no results because it's referred to as a moonroof not a sunroof. If you search 'moonroof' you will see many similar reports of leaking. Has been a consistent issue with F-150's (not just Lightnings).

Better answer, leaking glass roof sections has been a consistent issue with damn near all vehicle models that have them. One of the major reasons I refuse to buy any vehicle with a glass panel roof section

Sunroofs (and moon roofs) in cars, houses, etc have seals that fail. It’s not a Ford issue, it’s a sunroof issue. FWIW, coming up on 30k in my 23 lariat, and no leaks. If you’re still under warranty I’d get it in to the dealer.

same here i have just over 10000 miles in my 23 er lariat and run thru a touch less car wash at least 3 times a week and have never seen a drop of water on the inside of the cab ..... that being said i do get moisture and droplets forming in the fronk lights tho.

Main reason I went with a Flash instead of a Lariat. Wish they made a Lariat without the moonroof and back window, would be perfect.

I too run thru the car wash at least 3-4 times a week with my Lariat ER and have no water intrusion from the roof. I leave the shade open on purpose to see if water comes thru. But I have had water inside the frunk lights as above and dealer replaced those asap under warranty.

I had a small amount of water entering through the overhead console. I received a Customer Satisfaction Program notice (25B08: Trough assembly replacement and repair) and brought it in to my local dealership. I thought it was going to be replaced during that visit, but they just evaluated it. I also had water in the frunk lights. They didn't replace anything and didn't address the cause of water getting into the lights. They said I would be notified when the parts were available for both the trough and the lights.

The lightning moon roof is designed to accept leaks. If you have water inside then the drain system is the problem.

Lariat...

Thousands of F-150 owners have had leaks, yes. As stated, it's a drain issue.

24 Platinum - Had same issue covered under warranty
Dealer said it was the sunroof frame-took about 2weeks to fix between diagnostic and parts order
Once fixed have no issues after some torrential FL down poors

Useless trivia, Ford coined the name "Moonroof" in the 70's, everyone else calls it a sunroof. I'm glad mine didn't have one or I wouldn't be driving it today. I've had my fair share of leaking T-Tops in the past.

Apparently several people have, Ford had a service recall (?) to replace the trough (drain) that was prone to failure or clogging.

I once had a sunroof (rain roof?) on an old 1968 Peugeot 404 - first big rain it filled with water and when I took off for work, kersplash all over me. I sealed it up with metal tape - never could keep the drain lines from clogging with pollen or insects crawling up then, so I gave up.

Good luck.

There is a CSP for this very issue as mentioned here. My dealer wanted to perform it before I picked it up on purchase but wound up scheduling after the fact.

They replaced the whole trough and the 2 roof coat hangers.
