Mine leaked from the overhead speaker and grab handle. In the end the drain was clogged on the driver side. Get a can of compressed air or weed eater line and see if your clogged. Ever common google it all the sunroofs are the basically the same design

Also make sure you lubricate the seal around the glass. It's recommended to you a product called Krytox GPL105. You can order it from Amazon. It's important to keep the seal from drying out and tearing when the glass is opened.

It appears everything working fine except if drivers side is lowest point. Heck they sit 2 inches lower stock in front so they can't tell me drains can't handle water. Tomorrow 2nd appointment with sunroof dr. Bet he did routine thing and didn't drop headliner. I did his homework and told him what is going on. Truck was on lot as canceled order. I knew better on sunroofs but it 2022 they are so common.

I specifically deleted the sunroof option from my order after all the problems my 2018 had with that monstrosity. Mine got stuck half closed in a downpour and luckily I was able to quickly pull into a gas station. Ford needs to option a normal single small sunroof like vehicles used to have.

Either let the dealers in the area handle it and see if they can fix it. Or ask yourself just how often do you plan on actually opening the sunroof. If the answer is next to never then grab a tube of clear silicone, seal the sunroof up and pull the harness plug to the sunroof motor to prevent it from ever opening again. Problem solved.

Well I believe I figured out leak after 2 days of ME working on it and 4 dealer trips. The passenger rear drain tube was leaking with truck at a slight front left down. The sunroof had to be almost level front down a little. It flowed out super slow or not at all. Gravity must have been working against it at that position.When I backed down driveway it slurped out. Water rolls over to drivers side rear headliner and gets wet there then travels to front left microphone speaker and down to hood release. The rear passenger hose was at a slight uphill angle instead of straight and a little loose. The dealer took it off then reinstalled with zip ties. It now works properly. This was a tough one to figure out cause it appeared drain working correctly. I thought it was water getting into sunroof track but I built extensions for trough and it still leaked.

Well I believe I figured out leak after 2 days of ME working on it and 3 dealer trips. The passenger rear drain tube pinches at a certain slight front left down. It flows out super slow or not at all. When I back down driveway it slurps out so body movement must pinch it. Water rolls over to drivers side rear headliner and gets wet there then travels to front left microphone speaker and down to hood release. This was a tough one to figure out cause it appears drain working correctly. I thought it was water getting into sunroof track but I built extensions for trough and it still leaked.

Hi there, Roy. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

I am having the same problem, water seems to be coming through the drivers side tweeter and the headliner is wet around it.
I’ve taken it into Ford twice and they can’t seem to figure out the problem.

Why oil? Why not using grease.

Just picked mine up from the local dealer after I got water in the cab on 2 occasions. They said drain tube by map light was clogged and is good now. They also told me that the deflector is missing from the sunroof. I never realized it because I don’t use the sunroof really but when I have the buffering is awful. Called the dealer where I bought the truck (used) in February so hopefully they will make it right.
