Guys, need some help. 2014 Raptop
I have no need for a sunroof, I never use it. My truck has 13,000 miles and the sun roof has been opened 3 times (Once to see if it worked, twice to make sure I was clearing overhead objects)
Sunroofs are for women and city slickers (But thats just one guys opinion) Sunroofs!
Anyway, last night while backing into my gargae to plasti-Dip my badges (Never had the truck in the garage past the cab before) I opened the sunroof and poked my head out to see if I was clearing the garage ceiling. When I was finished I pulled the Raptor back into the drive way. I never considered the damn sunroof might be open. Its not something I think about.
I came out this morning in a hurry, had to get to work fast. Opened the door and my truck was soaked. If you watch the news you know Texas is getting hammered with rain. The cup holders were full, the floor boards and seats were soaked. The back seats are in good shape though. I had seat covers on teh front seats, and large floor mats in teh front floor boards, those helped take a lot of the water. I cleaned up as much water as possible and drove to work sitting on a garbage bag.
I plan to take the seats and carpet out when I get home and dry everything over the weekend.
The major concern is the stereo. It works, but as I drove to work the touch screen started to fail. First the bottom half of the touch stopped working. 30 minutes later the whole screen stopped responding. The radio and all its features work, at least the ones that can be controlled from the steering wheel. But the screen is dead, I dont expect it to come back to life. The screen lights up, you can see everything normally, but the touch interface is dead.
Im posting here to ask about options. Do you think I can source a new digitizer for the screen? Or will the unit need replaced. Should I look for OEM replacement Or should I look at aftermarket? What aftermarket model? I dont want to lose functionality, so I assuem OEM will be needed.
Or, does anyone here have the OEM stereo for a 2014 Raptor with Luxury package? Anyone know of a junk yard with a wrecked Raptor?
