Sunroof not shutting right

[KRYPTO]

When I open the roof all the way, then try to shut it. It hits the plastic thing that pops up then fully opens automaticly. I have to tap it shut for it to close. When I pop it up it goes up then moves down alittle. When its fully shut the front is poped up and the back is pushed down. I'll take some pics in the day and show you what I mean. I've loked at the track and everything, nothing wrong????

I dont know if I want to replace the whole thing. Is it hard to do?

[focinite]

no , and you may not have that choice. they( ford) built them in such a way as they are not a repairable item as much as a replaceable unit. and trust me, brand new the run close to 700 bucks and if you find a good one at a yard, theyll want alot for it too, ill go cheaper than that, just to prove to certian people that i do care about others, and its cluttering my small ass garage!

There is a procedure for timing the sunroof that may fix it for you.

You can try this, it's the procedure used when you replace the roof motor.

Updating Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization

WARNING: The roof opening panel anti-trap function will not operate during the updating roof opening panel motor initialization procedure. Make sure that the roof opening panel opening is free of all foreign material. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE: This procedure should only be carried out when the roof opening panel motor has not been disconnected.

NOTE: The roof opening panel alignment must be carried out prior to carrying out roof opening panel motor initialization. For additional information, refer to Roof Opening Panel Alignment in this section.

Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the up/close position until the roof opening panel is in the fully open/vent position.
Release the roof opening panel control switch.
Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the up/close position and hold for 30 seconds until there is a small movement (approximately 2 mm) and the roof opening panel motor stops.
Release the roof opening panel control switch.
Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the up/close position again within 0.5 seconds until the roof opening panel stops (one complete cycle).

Initial Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization

WARNING: The roof opening panel anti-trap function will not operate during the updating roof opening panel motor initialization procedure. Make sure that the roof opening panel opening is free of all foreign material. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE: This procedure must be carried out when installing any roof opening panel motor or roof opening panel.

NOTE: The roof opening panel alignment must be carried out prior to carrying out roof opening panel motor initialization. For additional information, refer to Roof Opening Panel Alignment in this section.

Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the up/close position.
Release the roof opening panel control switch.
Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the up/close position again within 0.5 seconds until the roof opening panel stops (one complete cycle).

Erasing Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization

NOTE: The erasing procedure is to be carried out only when the roof opening panel motor has been detached from the roof opening panel.

NOTE: This procedure must be carried out before installing a previously used roof opening panel motor.

Connect the roof opening panel motor electrical connector.
Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the up/close position until the roof opening panel motor stops.
Release the roof opening panel control switch.
Operate the roof opening panel control switch again to the up/close position and hold for 30 seconds. With the roof opening panel control switch held, the roof opening panel motor will rotate in one direction.
Release the roof opening panel control switch.
Operate the roof opening panel control switch to the down/open position. If the roof opening panel motor does not rotate, the erasing procedure has been carried out successfully.
If the roof opening panel motor rotates (with the roof opening panel control switch in the down/open position), repeat the procedure.

Thanks Steve, That did the trick, the only thing now is it doesnt open the vent up all the way. Atless it shuts right.

Saweet glad to help, you may want to look at all the pivot points and see if they need lubrication.

Stuff like this is why I hate sunroofs, that and they steal my headroom.
