Thanks for doing this, after watching the video I am now convinced I have no need for a sunroof lol
lol next we'll do a video on how to weld up the sunroof so you never have this problem again.
Great video. The most detailed video on YT about this fix. Thank you!
Thanks so much for commenting and we're really glad it helped!
Appreciate the detailed video. It was an easy listen and a lot of great information Thanks for taking the time I’m sure you’ve helped a ton of people.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Just want to say I appreciate you. Just completed this today on my 2010 Supercrew. The headliner was a PITA. Finally got it all put back together on the ONLY day we're not supposed to get rain this week. Lifesaver...Thanks.
Thanks so much for the comment. Really glad the video helped!
Great job on the video. Very helpful!
You are so welcome! I figured it could help others on this common problem.
This video is Golden you are great man
I am humbled by your comment, thanks!
Just did mine 2 months ago… apparently the track parts are all plastic. 🙄 wtf!! $50 kit on Amazon… I just had to buy a rivet gun, body trim tool and I convinced my best friend to lend a hand for a few hours on a Saturday. BTW… don’t loose one of the 4 torx screws for the sunroof. The dealership charges $67 for the pack of 4. Luckily they just charged me $16 for one 😐 fml
It almost makes you feel like Ford is taking advantage of us at $67 for $2 worth of screws... Thanks for the comment!
Saw your video after I completed my fix (by using someone else's). Both your video and there's were very similar. My problem now is that when I hit the "tilt" button, it lifts but then comes back down on it's own. Secondly, when I hit the "slide" button, it lifts (tilts) and then comes down on its own. Any ideas?
Usually that means its encountering resistance. If the motors hit a certain level of resistance, they reverse. Were you able to find a solution? That knowledge would help the community for sure and anyone who find that same trouble.
I believe if you pop the side covers off of the dash, there's a connector for the tweeters, which is easily disconnected.
Hey great addition to the knowledge on this project, thanks @timnewton8308. This is the kind of thing that helps the do it yourself community!
i have a 2011 platinum 4x4 with a sunroof and want to install a panoramic sunroof
Now that sounds like a great project! You gota let us know if you take that on!
Well i know what im doing if my sunroof fails…. Unplugging the switch and calling it a day, ha. I dont use it much anyway.
Now if the little rear window stops, Thats getting fixed quick!
Not sure if you guys get salted roads also but have you taken the sunroof drain tubes out of the rockers to help prevent them from from rusting?
That's the SEP fix and we are 100% with you (Somebody Else's Problem) lol
@@MotorsandMischief lol. Since mines the crew it doesn’t look so fun. I say i wont fix it but i probably would just cause itd bug me something’s broken on my truck 😂
Gonna be repairing mine soon. Im gonna notch the rail and fold it up, to remove and replace arms. Then I will fold piece back down and jb weld it and sand smooth.... Well thats what Im hoping to do.....
Oh, you gota let us know if that works! Good luck!
No, no...don't do anything that drastic!
I did mine over this past weekend. You DON'T have to take it out of the truck. Fold your front seats all the way down. Take the headliner down. Unscrew the sunroof track, drop it down, repair it, and screw it back up. Worked great, and no seat removal.
Update on the xl600r please
What a great question and sharp eye in the garage lol. We've put a lot of hard into it, and its coming along really nicely! We decided to take a lot of the current work, and put a bunch of it into one video to show more progress. We are finishing up the work on the 3 current Raptor projects, then its full tilt on the XL600r and boy am I excited!!
@@MotorsandMischief me too. I have a 83 xl600r I bought that needs rings and seals lol. Looking for how to videos on them bikes.
And would I still be able to use my rear defrost because my rear defrost does not work right now I think the prior owner disabled it
We're working on a video on how to replace/repair the rear defroster, as ours has been nothing but trouble. Stay tuned!
Did you ever have to deal with the rear sliding window in the rear window breaking whenever you turned on your rear defrost is there a fix to all that
We'd need you to provide a little more detail, it sounds like you're saying the rear window is breaking when you turn on the defrost... like shattering. We personally haven't had any issues with the rear window on ours, although we have had a terrible time with the rear defroster.
@@MotorsandMischief well the rear defrost does not work I don’t know if the prior owner disabled it or it just does not work but I’ve been seeing all the videos of how it break the rear window if you use it and sometimes when I try to open the sliding window it will not work so I don’t open it a lot because don’t want it to not work in the open position
where did you get the kit from ?
Sorry for slow reply! I got the kit here, this is an American company and by far the best one out there. The others are cheaper and not as well made. ebay.us/PqY727
Anyone know a good method to just get the window closed and watertight again without doing the full repair? Ripping out the headliner seems like it could be a total disaster if you F it up. Mine jumped the stops when opening it straight back all the way and now it's wedged open and won't go forward. I almost never use the sunroof and I'd be happy just to button this up tight closed as long as it looks okay from the inside and outside.
Great question. If you really force it, like really pull, you can sometimes make it close. The risk is breaking the plastics even more. First I would try to calibrate it while all the way back. I cover that at 35:44. Let us know how it goes!
@@MotorsandMischief I decided to get the local dealer to get it shut and paid the $200. I'm in the process of collecting all the tools I need and I'm going to try and get some time in my brother's machine shop and get some help before I attempt this. Drilling out rivets and buying the right rivet gun to re-rivet it probably the tough part above my experience level. But the almost $4000 price tag at the dealer - I won't pay that for a truck worth $10,000.
Fixing mine right now and already put everything back but the sunroof has slid all the way open and won't close.. I try pressing the button for 10 seconds and it doesn't do anything
Hey Jorge, did you find success in calibrating the sun roof?
@@MotorsandMischief negative, I took off the motor and closed by hand. Haven't opened my sunroof since lol
I remember when i got my 2011 Raptor, day zero ... They fuckin guy i bought it from said, "oh dude its fixed" as i ask about the sunroof. Soon as i got home i opened it and it wouldnt close. Mo-Fo. I had to put carboard and eucttape that bitch cu i was going in a road trip to Florida 3 days later. It was bad ...
lol oh man. The cardboard roof works fantastic... until it starts to rain.
That’s a ridiculous amount of money for something you make look so easy
This is for sure a good one for saving some money. Thanks so much for commenting!
Would you do mine?..cost
Hi Mike, maybe we should consider going into business. Ford could probably keep us busy, lol
Uh... How you you spell "byooter"? It is butyl rubber glue? Or, uh?
We didn’t know what he was talking about either but we assumed he knew something we didn’t lol
It sure looks like a front seat would have to come out to remove headliner on a super crew cab.
Thats a great question @Augmentedking, if anyone has done this with a 4 door I'd love for them to comment. The best part of these videos is not just the how-to, its also the added knowledge we gain from the community. Great comment.
Front passenger seat needs to come out for a crew cab, i am about to do mine..@@MotorsandMischief
I'll let you know how it goes when I do mine
@@dylanplank1841 I’d appreciate it. I’m wondering if both right hand side seats have to come out
Just completed mine today. I did not remove any seats although it might have helped with the headliner. With that said though, there are some videos where they don't have the b-pillar between the front and rear doors. I, of course, have the dang b-pillar. Folded the headliner up like a taco and slid it out the back door. Taking the sunroof frame out wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but take off the headrests to help with space.
* * Basically you are taking the entire cabin apart...I would rather trash the f-ing truck...! * *
Boy we hear you. They could have made it souch easier.
Just did my crew cab 2011 F150 recalibrated all works just a quick question tilt up automatic works but closing tilt have to hold button to close is that normal thanks.
