moonroof problems

[Pat]

My 04 came equipped with the "factory" moon roof. We all know it was just installed at the factory by a non-ford vendor. I don't recall the company's name.

After 14 years of trouble free operation my son noticed a small puddle of water on the center console. Looking further he discovered the overhead lamp/drive console was filled with water. He then discovered the moon roof had not fully closed. It had rained the previous night.

Efforts to get the moon roof to seat closed were unsuccessful, The sliding access door would not fully open seems to be an obstruction at the rear. The moon roof would thus not fully open. Also it would not dock fully closed. The drive mechanism did, however, move the moon roof forward and backward OK.

Repeated cycling of the moon roof disclosed the mechanism would fail to fully open and dock fully closed.

My guess is that the mechanism jumped a track or a plastic part broke off causing the obstruction and track jumping.

What to do? Prolly a visit to the Collision center.

I can't recall the supplier for the Marauder sunroofs but someone here will. Anyways I'm quite sure they sell a rebuild kit like the one I just bought and installed in my F150. It came with all the wearable plastic sliders.

Unfortunately the headliner and the sunroof assembly need to be removed..

Pat let me know what you find out. I too have a moonroof and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before a rebuild is required. Fyi, I know there were Grand Marquis' that also had Moonroofs. Parts may be interchangeable.

I use mine everyday almost, it's the best part about the car. Living here in South Florida that is. I hit it once let it go fully open on its own, then hold it till it closes and STOPS on its own.

I'm in the same boat and I would like to know also.

So, the WX is not cooperating, rain, rain, go away. Had to cover the car and keep it covered.

However, I did talk to tech services at WEBASTO (they were nice folks but needed certain numbers from the frame. I'll get them when the WX clears. 1-800-860-7866, ask for Joe.

stay tuned.

Yeah that's right around what I paid on ebay. I just lowered the headliner down and was able to slide the sunroof out the passenger door (just barely) '04 Supercrew
