[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1414495, member: 21926"] ^^^^ This. Use your internet search engine of choice for “F150 moonroof track”, “F150 moonroof stuck” and various iterations of this search. Marvel at the number of unique reports of this failure. Cast your eyes upon the non-warranty cost to repair this failure. Watch the numerous youtube videos documenting the rather daunting DIY procedure. There are a few reasons why you’re finding the moonroof everywhere under the sun. I’m not sure of the correct term or acronym, but for the sake of this discussion, we will call the dealer trucks RPO ; regular production order. These vehicles are overwhelmingly the top tier, spec’d out with every option or 95th percentile worth of options. They use them to wow customers and make easier and more sales. Of course, the visually impressive dual panel moon roof is an easy add and a money maker. I was ambivalent about the moonroof, I’ve had 2 of them before, both had problems. To be fair, the 1st one was one of the ’80’s pop up style, it leaked but ... it was the ’80’s. ;-) I have had 2 more since, ’06 Subaru- busted at the range, required tools to get closed. ’17 Raptor, broken track, managed to get it closed after several attempts. I use them periodically, not when it’s super hot obviously, but sometimes nice to have the extra air flow. So I’ve had trouble with 100% of the sunroof/moonroof vehicles I’ve had, and honestly, I’m over them. Next time, no moon roof. [/QUOTE]
