Any of y’all have experience in dealing with this? I have a 2016 with the double moonroof that won’t open or close, from digging online it seems like a pretty common problem. Any of y’all have recommendations on how to fix or where to bring it? I’m in BR. Thanks in advance.

Might be the control module. I've had a similar issue on my steering wheel controls. I've heard Tri Care has Ford electronic assessment equipment

Yep. My buddy in Denver has a 2016 f-150. Visited him in January and tried to open sunroof in mountains. He has Exact same issues. He said Warranty didn't cover it or gave him runaround shite reason they couldn't fix it at dealer. So he's riding around in an expensive truck with a window in his roof.

It is a very common problem due to Ford using crappy plastic rails. They replace the whole assembly (minus the glass) so its going to cost you a small fortune. Once fixed, use some of this on the rubber where it contacts the body Krytox

If you are handy, you could try to fix it yourself Sunroof Repair

Were you in the many truck threads making fun of Ram trucks?

Just checking.

I've had the same problem for a while and now the screen that retracts stopped working as well. Nervous to try and repair it myself out of fear it will get stuck open.

This is why I didn't get one in mine. Read online before I purchased that many people had issues with them including leaking.

I had same exact problem. Dealer changed out the rail system and it hasn’t given any trouble since.

Bought a 2017 with a sunroof in November 2017. Noticed it was leaking about 2 months later. Put it in the shop for a week where I bought the truck which was over 100 miles out of town. When I went to pick it up it was not fixed.

I put it back in the shop at a local dealer for about 4 weeks. Seemed to be fixed. I let it sit up for a couple of days when Barry came thru recently. I opened the door on a hot afternoon and steam rolled out of the cab. Every window inside was dripping wet with condensation.

Two weeks later it got traded in on one without a sunroof.

You bought a Ford, did you not expect some issues?
