    05 moonroof won't close

    I replaced the moonroof motor on my 2005 XLT Sport (not SportTrac) because my dad said it didn't work when he gave it to me (so I never even tried it before replacing the motor) and it opened all the way but will now only close about 3 inches. I've tried everything including jumpering the switch...

    Moonroof noise - seal

    Good morning everyone, So I purchased the 2020 ford explorer ST last year. I used to drive a coupe and then a sedan but when I drove the explorer I swear I could hear wind noise above what is to be expected especially at highway speeds. I took it to the dealer and told them the noise sounds...

    Rattling from the Moonroof

    Hello, New user here, cool forum! I wanted to ask a quick question, I've had my new 2020 Explorer ST for about a month now and there is a rattling coming from the bar in between the dual-pane moonroof. It seems like it's from the plastic that divides the two sections. I'm not the most "handy"...

    2018 Explorer Platinum Liftgate won't fully raise

    I have tried to set the power liftgate to open to 100% open and it stops about 12" from opening fully. No matter how many times I try to set the height of the door it never works. It will allow the door to be set at a lower height. The dealership mentioned that Ford may have designed the door to...

    Moonroof Shade Only Closes Over Rear Window

    I just sold my 2016 Explorer with the dual-panel moonroof. Of course right after the buyer got the vehicle home he stated the shade will only close and cover the rear panel not the front. When I owned the it I hardly ever operated the shade as I always preferred to have the light come in. A...

    Sunroof motor connections

    Hi gang. I have a feeling I'm going about this the wrong way. The sunroof motor has 3 wires. Red in the middle and blue on one side and brown on the other. The motor is out and my thought was ; red=positive; blue=close; brown=open. (Or vice versa) I'm getting the impression that the switch comes...

    13 Explorer Moonroof closes and then vents automatically. Wont stay shut

    It rained hard last night and when I left this morning there was water puddled in the passenger side floor. I discovered that the moonroof was open. However, when I tried to close it, nothing happened at first. The oily button I could get to work wad the shade. I figured it might be a fuse so...

    Leak through overhead console... not drain lines.

    I've got an '04 Explorer. I posted on this a year or so ago, and got one suggestion, to caulk it shut forever. Another summer is here, and I'd rather not have to keep it in the garage, and not use it when it's raining. Usually, but not always, water leaks through the overhead console, coming...

    Moon roof will open, but not close

    Hello everyone, On my 2004 Sport Trac, the moon roof has developed a problem where it will open but not close. It got stuck open, and would open further, but not close. I took down the overhead console and manually cranked it shut. It would once more open, but not close again with the switch...

    Sunroof Leak where are the drains?

    When it rains, it pours...inside the car! - seems the drain lines in my sunroof are clogged - high miles, never cleaned out.... now a problem - opened roof and can't find the drains. Is it better to try to snake it from the bottom? If so, where would I look for the lines underneath?

    Has anyone else been faced with and found a solution to replacing the brittle plastic handle with vents after recovering their moonroof shade when recovering their headliner? THe plastic is so brittle from sun exposure that it has cracked, shattered in dozens of places - even after a complete...

    Water Leak

    I purchase a 2011 Limited 4WD Explorer in July. I was recently on vacation this past weekend and encountered a lot of rain. When my 8 year old sat in the 3rd row and buckled the seatbelt, water started streaming down the webbing and I also noticed water on the speaker grill. This has happened...

    Axum's Red '97 Explorer Sport

    So here's my Explorer. It's not technically my first car, but it's the first one I ever owned AND drove. I don't plan on doing a whole lot to it, I pretty much fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Plan on trying to keep it running as long as I possibly can. 1997 Explorer Sport Engine: 4.0L...

    Where sunroof drainlines exit?

    I searched threads all day for my 95 Eddie about moonroof leaks, sunroof leaks, drain lines, headliner removal, all of it. I cannot seem to find where the exit for the drain lines are located? Any help would be awesome.
