Ford approved the replacement of the panels based on the dealers findings. No run around at all

FYI, I had more noise today than yesterday....damn!

I did a little poking around last night, and when I pressed down on the back edge corner of the front panel, (from above the truck), I could duplicate a faint knocking noise. Not as loud as when your driving, but could duplicate just pressing down on the panel. It's definitely in the area, where the pivot point for the venting occurs.

I didn't see anything wrong with the glass, seal, frame....all looks new still.

As per my post a few pages back, I just got my truck back after having "the procedure" done.

My dealer replaced the entire track under warranty. It's a massive frame that bolts directly to the ceiling of the truck and then to the glass. It's a huge job.

I am happy to report that it is ROCK solid with zero noise. The roof opens and closes without binding, and the interior went back together perfectly with no stains or bends in my headliner. Needless to say I am so happy to be able to enjoy my truck again without being embarrassed by that horrible noise. I just hope it holds up and the noise doesn't come back.

Who is your dealer? Sounds like they might be onto something. Just strange how they are the only ones that have done the glass not the track. Good for them.

Please post more details about this fix. Any specific direction you can pass on will be very much appreciated. Better yet, scan the repair order so we can all pass this onto our specific dealers, that would save a lot of time and aggravation.

After days in the shop my truck was tore apart. But no more rattle in the moonroof. Entire moonroof frame was replaced and truck is like new!

That's great news. Maybe the dealers are on to something here. Check your PM.

Yes any repair order or anything else of the sort would help.....
It would seem a lot of dealers will not go this route at this time, which is ridiculous if ford is gonna authorize the repair and pay them. My own dealer stated he is awaiting a solid fix from ford and told me to keep checking back on it.
I've found more info on this board then they seem to have.
I'll be surprised if ford does put out a tsb to change out everyone's moonroof. I'm speculating they are hoping for a cheaper solution as The cost would be quite substantial company wide.

The dealer replaced the sunroof frame. Both glass panels were re-used. Day #3 and the noise is completely gone and I am a happy camper.


The technician working on the job said that the frame is the issue, they have replaced the frame on about 7-8 trucks so far and none have come back with any noise. If your dealer replaces either glass panel the noise will not be fixed. But due to the nature of my situation I won't be able to post my repair order for liability's sake.


Also, to remove the headliner they took off my truck's passenger door, front seats and console and everything went back together as new. It's like a brand new truck again.

My dealership did some tightening in the moonroof and the knocking is gone... I hope it stays away and I don't have to have the major repair of replacing the track
Is there a TSB on this ?
