2000 Sunroof Problems

[phateddie]

Having trouble with my sunroof leaking. First it was out of adjustment, so I adjusted it and it was fine, then after traveling at interstate speeds, I noticed it would lift up on the rear just enough to see light out the back side of it. When I slowed down under 45mph it would come back down. Like it was airlocking in the vehicle. Anyone heard of this happending?

When I was adjusting the sunroof going down the road, I heard a pop and now the passenger side of the sunroof drags on the track. It is leaking water again, so I have it parked and am looking for advice.

HELP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I sure wish I could help.

Are there any sunroof installers in your area?

I researched the problem and Ford has a TSB out on the issue. I ordered a few parts and was able to install them myself. Cost about $165 for parts (wholesale cost) but no more leaking! If anyone has any issues with their sunroof, let me know. I spent a lot of time studying the issue, and I think I know more than the local people who do it everyday (who were no help).

You can post it for others who may have the same challenge in the future.

The dealer ran the OASIS on my vehicle which is a 2000 Ford Expedition, 4x4, Eddie Bauer with the 5.4, and found 2 recalls which the first one was the Speed Control Deactivation Switch (05S28), and a maintenance reminder letter about tie rod maintenance (04L19).

There were also 2 TSB's out. The first being the sunroof issue (number 3-11-10) and another on replacing the air suspension compressor bracket for noise. (number 04-05-04). I did the replacement of the bracket and it made a world of difference in the noise the compressor makes when running. These were the only TSB's on it. I was kinda shocked not hearing about the rear wiper motor not having one, since it was such a known issue. Anyway, hope this might help someone.......
