i have a ford escape and a friend opened the roof last night. now it won't shut. i tried holding the button. tried lettering the car sit hoping that would help nothing.

any idea why this is happening and what will need to be done to fix it?

 

check fuse first,also in future clean and lube occas.with crc 656 ,marine silicone

 

note re sunroof :vacuum occas. (leaves get in there!) just got 2008 escape LTD.GOTTA HAVE DEFLECTOR or wind noise is rough!!weathertech is easy to install(no Tape) and secure as can be.

 

Yes I too noticed a lot of wind noise when driving fairly fast with the sunroof closed, will also be installing sunroof wind deflector.
Owned many cars with sunroof and only the Escape gives me this problem never a problem with GM or foreign modles.
Cannot understand why Ford cannot come up with a solution to this but that is probebly why the Japanese cars are kicking the**** out of the domestics.
Had 81000 km on the car and seatbelt came appart Ford covered belt only to 80000 km and why would anybody think I am getting tires of the domestics. LOL
