Right. if you never use it, then it’s never a problem :) Of course, what’s the point of spending $1500 to never use it right?

I don’t disagree with that other thread, I suspect there’s a lot of truth to periodically opening / closing the moon roof to prevent the freezing problem and breaking the tracks

In my case, the $1500 option was on the truck I found sitting at the dealer. ;) Since I have it, I have used it occasionally and have not experienced any issues in over 18 months. I also read the thread about opening and closing it, so I try to do that every couple of weeks.

Anyone have this issue? My conversation with my local ford dealer service department:

Dealer Ford Service: "What are you doing to cause this?" (so to speak)

Me: I've been pressing the button as it the manual states, "one touch", the same way for 2 years and now it's not working.

Dealer: We need to put another tech on this. We'll call you back.

Clearly, reinitializing isn't the fix as it's only helping for a couple weeks then the moonroof stops moving all together. It behaves as if it's stuck or something is blocking it.

Thoughts?


I had a problem with mine. It was random one day started having issues. Check out the attached service ticket from the dealer and what they did to fix it.

yeah, busted moon roof tracks.

Does it lift to the vent position or is that stuck too?

The F150 moon roof tracking is, how should I put this... cheaply made.
Super expensive to fix / rehab, but the track system is almost guaranteed to fail before the warranty period expires unless you never use the moon roof.

It still annoys me they removed the moonroof for cab that never had problems with it - supercab - and kept it for the one that always has problems. But, not like they sell too many supercabs anymore.
