Moonroof leak

good grief.

now got me thinking of changing my order to No moon roof.

How many years would that delay my delivery???

All these type of roofs leak, that's why there is drain channel.

As long as the moon roof tray is intact and the hoses for the channels don't get clogged, you won't have any leaks into the cabin. Unfortunately this is how moon roofs are designed these days. This is how it was at least for my GTI. Part of the reason I didn't get one for an "off-road" truck. Just asking for problems. Especially when quality isn't what it use to be.

I'm 99% sure that's not even a Raptor. I think it's a Ford Vista.

Are you kidding me???

I have owned several vehicles with moon roofs and NEVER had ANY leak.

Now granted, none were American made so maybe the difference.

In a high pressure wash scenario some water getting past the seals is ok (thats why there are drains installed inside the cab) but in a low pressure situation like driving in the rain or washing with a garden hose and nozzle zero water should be getting in.

I agree. I know the gutters are there for a reason, but under normal stuff like a hose wash or rain, I shouldn't see this much.

Problem is the only other Raptor at the dealership is doing the same thing so the dealer sees it as normal.

Before you do anything I would check the drain holes and see if they are plugged up. Easy fix if that is the problem just take an air gun and blow them out.

What foo said is right the sunroof will leak but you should never see the leak because it should drain out the holes.

All usually do "leak." By leak we don't mean into the cabin. That's what the channels are for.

A small amount leaking into the channel is normal, what you show, a steady stream, isn't. Take it in.

Skylites are just a pain in the ass waiting to happen. I was a contractor for many years and any holes in the roof will eventually leak. House or car, you couldn't give me one. I rejected several F150's (with skylites) 2 months back when I was looking for an FX4 for daily use. That $1200 bought a heavy duty tow package and some other extras.
