[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1617323, member: 21926"] This is a twin panel moon roof truck. Before driving off, actuate the moon roof several times, listen for uncharacteristic noises like grinding, popping and observe for rough or non-linear movement. The moon roof is not Ford’s best effort and requires some care and regular usage or the seals stick to the glass. When this happens the motor can overpower the moon roof track mechanism and break it, sticking it in any manner of positions unable to move. Workaround to avoid it- pop to vent FIRST, before moving the moon roof to the rear. Lube seals with Ford Krytox (205?) grease. expensive, but does work at keeping the seals from sticking. Else the truck looks clean. There were 3x recalls on the trucks for freezing door locks, 2 times. seat belt mechanism. There’s also a current something or other for the failure of the tailgate latch. Keep these in mind; check to see the recalls we’re done. Good luck & Welcome to FRF [/QUOTE]
