hello everyone my name is Patrick, I need some help please, my 2002 EB expedition has the factory installed sunroof, and it leaks, I have checked the drain tubes, cleaned them all out and coming home from work 2/26/2021 it still leaks, does anybody else have the same issue with their factory sunroof? if so what did you use to stop it from leaking? I don't use my sunroof anyway so I can care less, I've even been thinking about getting some type of waterproof clear sealant to permanently seal it shut, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

In my 2000, there was a metal gutter that spanned the width of the sunroof and ran along the back side of the sunroof. It became unattached at some point and resulted in a pretty dramatic leak.

see if that’s your problem. It should attach to the sunroof mechanism and it slides back with the glass.

Sunroof leak Found- MUST watch if you have a leak!! Not always the drain tubes!



Ford tech all agree no water should be getting into the pan if the sunroof is completely closed.
Simple solution, the seal around the glass is old and contracts, allowing the water to seep past it.
Replace the seal and the leaks will stop.
