- THIS VIDEO DESCRIBES HOW TO REMOVE THE HEADLINER FROM A 2012 FORD EDGE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING TO THE SUNROOF MOTORS TO FIX MY SUNROOF THAT WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. THE MAIN REASON I MADE IT IS I COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET HOW TO DROP THE HEADLINER ON MY FORD.
Thank you for the video! Very helpful. It isn't easy to get information like you said. I had the brackets break off on both sides of my Vista Sunroof recently and it has been painful to figure it out. Did you ever get the roof closed? Did you find out how to order the part to replace the brackets? Thanks again!
Yes, I got the roof closed finally. I have not tried to order anything. I just closed it up for the winter and will deal with it in the spring.
J Gray did anyone figure out how to order the parts? I'm having the same problem with mine
Elizabeth Zermeno I had the same issue with these little plastic parts breaking. I think it’s a common problem and the only way to fix it is by replacing the whole track ($350-$450 each) and they come with plastic parts again. I found a place that mills replacement parts out of aluminum. Here’s the link.

From one do it your-selfer to another, you saved me a lot of time by posting this video. Thank you very much!!
I too had a sunroof problem on my 2012 MKX; the inside headliner below the glass would not seat fully to the front. The dealer quoted $3,500 to fix this. You read correctly...$3,500. After seeing this video and the effort you experienced I can see where this can be quite expensive but not $3,500. I declined the dealers quote and went to a local sunroof specialist...he hit the left button and VOILA! The headliner came forward as it should. Now my faith in the dealer, through whom I had purchased two cars, is shattered. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ford for the cheap sunroof parts you make. It looks that all ford edge have the same problem. 😒
I’ve had 4 Edge’s with the pano roofs. Never had an issue…
Thanks for the demo. This is a huge issue with these model ford sunroof. Mine wont close the cable Broke it will open but it wont pull it close.
This really help thank you for making this video. My sunroof will not close on my edge 2011 and it's a panoramic. The left side has no power and the right side seems to be the only side working. Now I'm not sure if I should try to fix it my self or not
It is very important to lube all of the tracks and hardware on theses sunroofs every year with Fluid Film. It will greatly increase the life of the motor and hardware. Spray everything you can reach. Btw, 3:45 lol
Thanks for the informative video brotha. I need to get my headliner down to replace those brackets like the one you broke. Sunroof doctor sells the brackets as a set. Also if you took this whole time to take this headliner down to calibrate the motor assuming you didn’t have the broken clip you could have done the calibration procedure with the button.
Great video! Searched for one to see how to take headliner off to install a roof cb antenna. Thank you
P.S. Loved the slow mo, LOL!
For anybody wondering about the sunroof aluminum machine guides i replaced my girlfriends friend guides out of her 2011 ford edge work great. They are well built and were easy to to install. Well worth the 135 for both over what the dealer is asking for the plastic replacements
Do u have to open the roof all the way to install them?
How were you able to get the pin back into the broken clip? I loosened the glass and saw no way it would go in and keep the guide in the rail. It didn't seem like the pin goes into that part of the clip but rather a part that was broken off.
From the SunRoofDoctor link found in a couple of the replies there is another video on how to change the bracket with the new CNC metal one here ruclips.net/video/kCVp9AmK7fs/видео.html
Thank you
How did u actually get it to close all the way
I know this was a few years ago, and you probably don't have this car anymore (can't say I blame you, haha)., but did you take out the sun shade, or did it break and you had to pull it out to get the sunroof shut? I have a Focus, and one day I accidentally hit the open button with the shade closed......and the whole works got stuck. I ended up having one of my coworkers help me pull the sun shade out so I could close the sun roof. Well- that was over a year ago, and I need to get that thing back in- our heads get roasted by the sun on hot days, lol. Do I need to drop the headliner to get that back in too? #notlookingforwardtothat
You think it’s okay to remove the motor if the sunroof is in a fully closed position? Thanks so much for the vid!! 👍🏻👍🏻
How do I change the sunroof switch my sunshade button works but my tilt button is broke ..so I need to find out how to remove the switch and put a new one in.
What have you done about replacing that one side of the track that broke?
Steve do you have to drop the headliner to replace the front rails?
By the way thanks for the video...I have some part numbers and a website that sells the OEM replacement parts for that vista roof at cost if you would like that info
Mine also just broke. It's at the dealership this morning. Quoted $2,075 to fix it - said the brackets are broken
Ashley A did u get it fix??? I have same problem. Both clips broke. Stuck open. I used black 6” gorila ductape on the edges to keep water out...
Action Luis replacement parts. $135 for both.

My vista roof does not open at all.. it was for a bit making a sound like the motor gear was stripped and the first little bit where only the front part opens worked, but now there is no sound and no movement at all.. you say that you have to open everything to work on it, but there is no way I can do that.
J Etzel did you figure out how to open your roof? I have the exact same problem
Would u know were i could get the rear speekers like your at seam your the only one that has them speekers in your edge. Thank u in advance
Sorry I have no idea. Mine is the limited and it just came with those speakers.

Thanks this is awesome news! I couldn’t bring myself to buy the ford parts since they were still plastic. Did you install these? Work ok?
I need the same clip for my headliner a 2013 Ford Explorer my head Line Stay still. It don't go back and forth be cause of the broken clip . My Clips are broke on both sides I'm going to try to glue something together

7t4z 78502c07 b
This is for the front rails and plastic guides that go on them..as far as I know you cant buy the front guides separately you have to buy the whole rail..
Here are the part numbers for the rear guides..you can buy them separately and they aren't too expensive
7t4z 78502m78 a
7t4z 78502m79 a
Look the parts up on tascaparts.com genuine OEM ford parts at a great discount
Mine are broken as well :( I did glue them with the strongest epoxy and worked about 3x then they broke again
Were you able to fix this?
I didn’t fix the sunroof. I think the part would have been around $1000
Steve B replacement parts.
