There’s not many people that understand these sunroofs the way you do, like you said, they keep making them cheaper out of plastic nowadays, yet, somehow, it doesn’t slow you down, you’re able to fix them, there are people that will never have a sunroof in their car, but they enjoy watching your video anyway, so that says a lot, People always like to watch things being fixed,
Thanks, Dave! I always said I wouldn't have one of these panoramic sunroofs, but after seeing how easy they are to repair, I'd definitely would have one now! 🤣
Thanks, Mike! These panoramic sunroofs are a lot easier to work on compared to the 2014 and earlier ones. Unless you have to change the cables. That may not be fun.
I watch them every year up there. I could stand there and watch them build trucks all day. I'd love to work there. I remember when they went to these sunroofs in 2015 and said the regular small ones were no longer available. Thank you for watching!
Wow! These modern cars have more complicated electrical stuff than Apollo 11. Watching this makes me want to get a Model A. To simpler times. Except for air conditioning of course.
Wow what an amazing video and all of your knowledge. Truly impressive and very detailed. Dan is going to check his F-250 to see if it is working correctly. Would they get out of sync under normal operation. Roseann & Dan
Hey @tonyscarcare5657 I’ve got a 2018 Expedition Platinum Max. Shade won’t close all the way. No vent or opening as well. The tracks have been replaced recently. Initialization isn’t doing anything after the close button is pressed. Just a clunk as if it’s trying to get to vent position but stops. Is the process the same for these expeditions as the F series trucks?
Welcome to FORD!!! I have a 1998 Ford Contour SVT. Bought the car new in October 1998. I am the one and only original owner. The car has 87,000 miles on the "clock". Having issues with the wiring harness as this was the "arm pit" with these cars. Cooling fan with not come on when air conditioner is engaged & fog lamps do not work. A guy has been "working" on this for 6 months. I realize this can be time consuming & replacing parts is quicker and more money productive. PLEASE help me save this car.
I followed this procedure yesterday that I found on another video, which has similar steps. I did the initializion because the shade was not closing all of the way. Now my sunroof will not open, and it makes a loud ratcheting noise when it goes into vent mode. Now the shade closes all the way and immediately opens😢 back up to halfway position. Pretty sure stripped a gear or something.. I have tried to initialize again and the glass will not slide back at all. Is there a way to fix this without tearing it down?
Well, at this point, I think you just need to think about how fortunate you are that it's closed and not stuck open. I've been telling everyone not to use them at all. I'm ashamed of Ford for using that junk.
So how do i fix the fact that overtime, my shade will not close completely. I dont even open my shade or sunroof and now it sets with the shade back almost 2 inches from closed and every month its further back.
Thankkkk yoouuuuuu i just replaced my tracks myself and for the life of me could not get it to close correctly and this fixed it
Awesome, thank you! I'm hoping to do a complete repair video soon. There doesn't seem to be a very good one out there.
I appreciate hard to come by knowledge shared and demonstrated in simple terms. You'll be helping lots of others. Thumbs up!
Thank you! I'm glad you think so because this video has already lost me two subscribers. ☹️

Boy, Tony, you get to have all the fun! Again, nice to have someone to parlay confidence to their viewers.

Yes Tony. you are right, your videos are very informative and they are for sure very god for people that have tees cars.👍👍
Thank you once again, buddy!
Watched those being put in at the Michigan plant after the tour of the Henry Ford museum in December of 2019!
I watch them every year up there. I could stand there and watch them build trucks all day. I'd love to work there. I remember when they went to these sunroofs in 2015 and said the regular small ones were no longer available. Thank you for watching!
You should be proud. I'll bet this tutorial on sunroofs is discussed only on your TH-cam channel !!
Thank you very much. It does feel good to help people.
Great video!
Thank you!

It's getting crazy.
I’ve had nothing but issues with my sunroof, track issues, busted glass.. both of them.. now track again.
They are absolutely terrible!

It should be the same, yes. If everything was replaced but the cables aren't in sync, it won't work.
Tony, Wasn't there an old song that said - Rainy days and Mondays and dripping sunroofs always get me down? 😉
🤣😂🤣😂 Thank you for always watching and commenting for me. I really appreciate it.

Not really. It sounds like the cables are out of time. It's gonna need to be rebuilt.
So about that video.... 😊 @@tonyscarcare5657
2019 f350 sunroof won’t open or vent. The shade is open and only closed half way. Help!
Did you try the recalibration process?
@@tonyscarcare5657I try that several times and nothing moving.
Does it jump or anything at all?
@@tonyscarcare5657nothing is moving only the shade is able to open all the way and close halfway.

Recalibration should take care of it unless it's another problem.
@@tonyscarcare5657 I am going to try this as soon as i get off work.
My vent roof is stuck open, I tried calibrating it but sunroo won't shut
I have this video. Check it out. You may have broken plastic stuck in the way. Click here. 👇

I rebuilt mine and nothing worked🤦🏻♂️😂
I hope to do a real video on repairing one of these soon.
Do these moonroofs have a lot of issues? I’m looking for a truck and would love to have a moonroof but afraid of issues.
They all break!
@@tonyscarcare5657stay away from them when buying a one of these trucks?
