- 06 Eddie Bauer V8 4x4
Hey there,
New guy here, first post, wanted to say hi! I just traded an 05 F150 5.4L XLT Supercab with 5.4L engine for an 06 Eddie Bauer Explorer 4x4 with the 4.6L w/45k miles. Love it so far but i have a concern.
This vehicle has a sunroof. The other day after a rainstorm, 2nd day of ownership, I took a quick ride downtown, and upon taking a turn, water started coming out of the the overhead console by the driver side map button!!! It wasnt just dripping- it was pouring!!!
I took a quick look up top and my sunroof was closed correctly. I opened the sunroof and poured some water into the channel and water seems to drain down the holes correctly. I also closed the roof all the way and sprayed it with a garden hose, and didnt see any leaking. I cant see where and why water would be leaking out of the overhead console.
I did a quick search on this site and found someone else had this problem, but couldnt find a solution. Has anyone fixed this? I'm going to have the dealer look at it, but I think they might say they cant find anything. Short of pulling the headliner out and looking for the leak, can anyone offer any ideas? Does anyone know how many drains the sunroof channel has? Is it one per corner of the sunroof?
I'm also looking for instructions to remove the headliner if i decide to go down that path. Does anyone have any instructions for how to do this?
Thanks again and this is a great site!
