Leaking Panoramic Sun Roof F150
This is a public service warning to those thinking of buying a new F150 with a panoramic sun roof, DON'T. Unfortunately I purchased a new F150 King Ranch with one and it leaked the first time I went through a car wash, within a week of purchase. I returned it to the dealership and they kept it for three weeks! I was finally called to come pick it up and I was told everything checked out fine and it was performing as it was designed. They showed me a letter from Ford engineers that said the roof might leak when going through a high pressure car wash. My response was why was this fact not in the manual. Well this went on for a year and I finally contacted Ford and after researching my service records they also told me it was preforming as it was designed. So I have a $55k truck that leaks. To add insult the dealership told me Ford would not warranty any water damage. So I traded the King Ranch with 11k miles in on a 18 GMC Denali, without a sun roof! I'm done with Ford. I love the Denali and the powerful motor, 6.2 liter, 420 hp. I do hate that the Denali was built in Mexico. So good luck to you sun roof owners!

Unbroken, that's hilarious! I didn't just join to tell everyone what they already know. I have been a member for a few years. I was giving a friendly warning to those unsuspecting people that are thinking about buying a truck with a panoramic rain roof. Enjoy your potential rain roof, now that's hilarious! Look me up if you want to see a truck with some real factory power. I have had a Platinum with a 5.0 and a KR with a 3.5 Eco. This 6.2 has more power and gets better fuel mileage.....that's really hilarious haha

I am surprised you believe a 420hp motor is a lot of power though, oh, and it gets great fuel economy too, hahhahahahahahahah, 12-14 mpg, that's awesome.........

Interesting that you've been a member since January 2017 and hadn't posted until now. More interesting is being a member for that long and not having read the many, many posts about the roof. Yes, water is supposed to come in, and is supposed to be handled by the drain system. Yes, some drain systems have issues that need to be corrected. Yes, if you park at a steep incline, and only 2 of the 4 drains get used, there might be some leaking.
I would never buy any vehicle with a sunroof of any type, but that's just me.
