Any factory sunroof issues -- leaks, noise, motor, anything?

Has anyone had any issues at all with their sunroofs? Leaks, noise, motor, anything?

Zero issues for me. Although I probably jinxed myself saying that. I dislike my power sliding rear window. It rattles in the frame.

I've had factory sunroofs in my 2013, 2015, 2018, and now 2022 F-150s. Never had a leak or other issue. However, the other forum has some significant discussion of leaks on Gen 14s -- most attributed to the lack of proper sealant around the mounting rivets/fasteners in the drip rails.

The only issue I've had with mine was from the factory. The outer seal in one corner was folded in. While it never leaked I wanted to have it corrected before the bumper-to-bumper expired, so they replaced it with no issue. No other issues from it at all, no noise, no leaks. Really happy with it actually.

I know at one point there was discussion from a couple of people who had discovered that their drain lines had not been connected properly at the moonroof connection points, but that was back during the dark days of the job 1 trucks of 2021 days.

I agree with @Fordphanatic however about the back window rattling. If they ever offer option to delete the sliding window I would definitely opt for that in any future order I place.

No problems here.

I haven't had any problem, though I rarely open it. I don't really care for it to be open and I figure if it remains static I won't get any problems from it. I like having it though. I like the light from above. I wish Ford offered an inoperable moonroof.

I have not had any issue with mine but I really do not open and close it. My wife loves the large size and letting in the light, but I too would love to have an inoperable moonroof. The glass sealed flush with the metal roof and just the interior cover that opens and closes.

Mine is good. No issues so far. Would not have a truck without one.

Guys, have you seen the TSB for that?: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10209204-0001.pdf

Ford replaced my entire rear window because of the rattle and the new one is great.

Yes, unfortunately because it says "Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition if the vehicle meets ALL (my emphasis) of the following criteria:

*2021-2022 F-150
*Equipped with a B and O audio system
*Rear window glass sliding panel rattling when in the OPEN (again, my emphasis) position and music is playing"

My window only rattles when it is completely closed, if I open it even the slightest amount the rattle stops. Because of that the dealer refused to comply with the Service Bulletin.

They did try something, but that just made the rattle worse and the window leak when water is sprayed at an angle toward it. Rain is sealed out, but I can't hit the window directly with the hose when washing it or it leaks. So in reality they just made the situation worse, like most things they work on.

Since I never open it except to stop the bass rattle, I'd much rather have the option to just delete it from future builds.

Thanks for posting the TSB for us though. I was looking for that one a few days ago but couldn't remember the number for it.

My dealership replaced mine because it rattles when closed. I put a popsicle stick between the top of the window and the frame to stop the rattle until I took it in for service.
