They all say , "well that's the first time I heard of that", right from oil consumption to every other complaint that's the standard response from the dealer
Roof rattle was driving me batty. So glad I found your video. I actually applied a thin coat of Plumber's Grease around the seal and it silenced it almost immediately. Thanks so much for sharing!!
15 f150 same setup, same exact issue. My family owns a auto, residential and comm glass shop and I had all the auto techs baffled as they heard it but couldn't diagnose it in the shop when I took them for a ride to find it. Lithium grease worked! Ty!
Guys I fixed mine in 10 minutes. It’s just the two screws on the sides. Pop it up and use an Allen wrench to tighten it in after pushing the roof up into place. put the covers back on the sides, done!
@@100pyatt no you really don’t need to remove the glass. It’s just the two screws on the sides of the sunroof. There are four screws in total - two on each side. just push the roof around and tighten the screws until you feel that it’s not vibrating anymore.
Thank you for taking the time to post this. Going to try it this afternoon. I got the exact same excuse/comment from the dealership. I got talked into this option and have regretted it from Day 1. LOVE my truck. Cant stand the moon roof option.
Thanks for this video man. This seems to be happening to my 2018 F150 Limited now that winter is here in New England. Its so frustrating to spend over 60K on a truck and have this issue. I also had the vacuum seal issues with the front right wheel hub - where vacuum fails and 4WD partially engages and sounds like a bunch of nut n bolts in a blender - at 5200 miles.
Here's the fix: Vent the glass. Clean the seal of the front glass (the one that moves) where it meets the front of the back glass with a wet rag. Dry it. Then use some silicone paste and spread a light film on the seal. Done. You need to do these every few months, this is simply a quirk of this design that will always be there.
THANKS VERY MUCH. My 2015 F150 has had the SAME squeak / rattle since it was about a year old. Exact same location - passenger side, just above the seat belt. No lie, I had it into the dealer (Dixie Ford in Mississauga / Toronto) 6 times for this issue. It drives me CRAZY, so much so that it makes me question if I would ever buy another F150 again. Only occurs when the roof is closed, open it and it goes away, but will return within 5 minutes of closing the roof. Unlike your experience though, my dealer admitted to me that they have a lot of issues with this dual panel sunroof. The last time it was in, I said to the dealer, "this thing is coming up on 3 years, I've had it in 6 times for this issue and you've never been able to fix it. If this noise comes back after the warranty has expired, please tell me you won't tell me too bad for you." To his credit, he said he would not do that. The last time I picked it up, I could smell they sprayed something on it and the noise went away for several weeks, but it comes back. Sounds like this will need to be done from time to time. It has also migrated to above the back window. It is also very much weather dependent. Too hot, it won't do it. Too cold, it won't do it. Snow on the roof, it won't do it. I actually have 2 distinct sounds on my sunroof. The original one sounds like a marble impacting plastic. The second sound (and a newer sound) is just a plain old squeak and tends to only happen in the cold. And it takes a certain kind of bump to make it happen. (Fortunately, the dealer's parking lot has the perfect kind of asphalt surface for making it occur.) It's more like when the truck twists as opposed to just hitting a bump. But one thing is for sure, no more sun roofs for me EVER. I never open the damn thing anyway. I only got it because I bought a Lariat which was on the Dealer's lot and it came equipped with a sunroof. But my advice to Ford F150 buyers would be to stay away from the sunroof. Will try the lithium grease shortly. But it fits.
I haven’t tried it yet but thanks for posting. I just recently heard the rattling on my Expedition Max panoramic roof. I’ll grab some grease tomorrow. Thanks again brother!!!
I have the same issue on the same truck, it's driving me nuts. I took it to the Ford dealer and they took it in the garage for 20 minutes and said they "replaced the tracks and seals" on the whole sunroof. I'm calling BS on that but whatever it fixed the rattle... For 2 weeks. Now it's back and I can't wait to try your fix
Wished i had searched first, i thought for sure it would be covered under extended warranty since the track was replaced 4 years ago . Sunset Ford said it was a known issue and Ford said to clean and lube!!! 200 dollars later...
Thanks man. My 2018 just started making same noise. thought it was just my OCD . After research found its very common. I did what you did and so far it's worked. Only been one day now so fingers crossed I the lasting results you have. Thanks again
Thank you for this! I’ve had mine in twice for a rattle, and each time it came back worse than when I dropped it off. I can’t believe the techs didn’t know to do this. After watching the video I ran to the local shop and bought the lithium grease. I put it around my front glass seal, went for a drive, and NO MORE RATTLE. cheers
Just ordered a can from Amazon, it’s gone up in price a bit in the last 5 years. My vehicle is a 2018 Ford Kuga (Uk) (Escape US) and I’m having exactly the same problem.
You are the man! - Fixed mine. Drove me crazy. I found some Dielectric grease works for the little stuff but never tried Lithium Grease on the seal.. A1 fix. 😎👍
Thanks for the video. My 2018 platinum is doing the EXACT same thing at the EXACT same place. I had been opening and closing the vent to make it stop but it keeps coming back. I will try the lithium grease fix! That rattle sound had me guessing until I had a buddy ride along and pinpoint it to the the baffle on the twin panel just above the passenger front seat.
La flama Blanca First tried lithium grease on slides - no help. Then Krytox on rear seal of front panel - where it mates against rear panel - no help. Yesterday I cleaned all surfaces I could get to with roof partially open and in the vent position. I used Krytox on all the rubber I could get to and lithium grease on slides and metal surfaces where rubber seals sit (like when roof is fully closed). Made a huge difference - eliminated the creaking noise. I will monitors and see how long this lasts.
Thank you so very much for this video. I too experiencing this annoying rattle on my 17 Limited 150. I will see if the dealer would do any thing about it first before attempting this method. My truck is only had 8400 Miles at this time and I’m wondering if there is a real fix for this issues by the dealer.
Worked for me as well. I just hate that we have to continue doing this a few times a year. My last F150 had a sunroof, but I never had one issue with it. But I like the truck, so I will do what I have to!!
The new F150 could have been such a great truck. The fit and finish on mine is terrible. I know plenty of people that have had no problems at all with theirs, but mine has been a near endless chain of annoying minor issues, most of which the deal either could not fix or “didn’t hear.”

Is that how you remove the Glass ? TY 🙏

Just bought my truck last month. The rattle I hear is in the exact same spot. Thank you so much for this solution. I will try to grease it tomorrow.

Tremendous! Will try this immediately versus continuing toward insanity.

Much appreciated! This was driving me insane
3oz tube of Motorcraft PTFE grease for $13 (wholesale price) fixes this and keeps sunroof happy
Tried this on my dual moonroof in my Jeep Cherokee. So far so good. But it's only been a day. But thanks
Thank you for this!

Holy fuck you're my HERO Thanks... My OCD was pushed to the limits, Mines in the same spot. fixing tomorrow.
Why lithium grease over silicone spray lube or spray teflon dry lubricant?
Could you do a video on how you do it next time?
perfect! My 2018 Platinum suffers from this as well... I'll do the same! THANKS
Worked for me as well. I just hate that we have to continue doing this a few times a year. My last F150 had a sunroof, but I never had one issue with it. But I like the truck, so I will do what I have to!!
I had the same thing in vw passat b8, the service stuck a tape between the frame and the body and now it's quiet
Thank you so much, I'm about to get on it

Love u
Thank you !
Here's the fix

How long did it last?
I do mine every 3 months to prevent this and leaking or sticking which will break the plastic tract and could shatter glass
How do I Venmo you a couple of bucks to say thanks!
Is your vehicle Dearborn or Kansas City Built?
Doesn't matter, the sunroof is built in one place
Mine was built in Dearborn
They are built cheap
