 Description of the problemI went to open the moonroof on a hot afternoon to vent the truck. I pressed the switch to tilt the glass and it didn't seem to move. I tried the slide function and heard a loud pop. The glass slid about 1" and stopped. I tried numerous times to open or close the moonroof and only succeeded in getting it to open about 5" and it will not close. I have read many posts on ford forums and other forums about this problem. It includes not only the f-150's but explorers and expeditions from 2007 to present. A small plastic part breaks and renders to moonroof inoperable. The owner is then stuck with an opening in the roof of their vehicle that will let the weather in. Rain could potentially short out much of the vehicles electrical system. The estimated cost to fix this at the dealer is as much as $2400 for a part the probably cost ford less than $1. The vehicle was stationary when this happened, but could very well happened on the highway as i have opened the moonroof while traveling before. The sound of the plastic pieces breaking while opening could very well startle a driver if opened while traveling. I have to travel with a piece of plastic in the truck and use it to cover the opening in case of rain. Also the vehicle isn't secure because of the opening. I'm also not sure if this will shatter the glass if opened further.
