I would think a reputable body shop will have it fixed in an hour or two. That's what I would try next.Well my son's 2020 Ford Explorer seems determined to self-delete. The engine had a major overhaul three months ago to replace bad cam phasers. Now it wants to drown itself. After heavy rains last month it flooded. 1.5" water on front and back floor. I cleaned out the front drains with stiff string trimmer and both sides were patent. Next time it rained hard the same thing happened.
Ford dealer inspected the sunroof today and it seems the seal at the rear of the glass panel has detached and 'fallen down' according to the service advisor. Of course his extended warranty won't cover 'trim' repairs and they want almost $2500 to replace the entire glass assembly with seal. Apparently the seal is a part of the glass and cannot be secured separately. I haven't looked at it yet but it seems to me extreme not to be able to fix this w/o such an involved repair.
Sunroofs are the most infrequently used feature of a car and I would not buy another car with one. The fix this time might just be a big hunk of Gorilla Tape and park the car in the garage.
Click 'n Clack used to call this 'bogus'. I do too.

We must have married sisters.Every car the wife gets she insists that it have the sun/moon roof. They are a total waste for me as we never open them.
Not going to speak for anyone else, but our 21 xlt is at 30k miles with zero issues to date. With winter tires, it is by far the best winter driving machine we've owned to date.I’ve heard the 2020’s have horrible build quality. Does anyone know if that carried over to the 2021’s and newer?
How about permanently caulking it closed?Well my son's 2020 Ford Explorer seems determined to self-delete. The engine had a major overhaul three months ago to replace bad cam phasers.
