2012 F350 cab leaking
2012 cab leaking
After truck sat in rain for 6 hours, I get in and find water dripping from the passenger side A-pillar handle. Top and bottom of the handle. LOL! How do you even build it like this, even on purpose. Construction techniques are pretty foolproof these days. Apparently not!

Went to dealer and they nodded, knowingly. Common problem, sunroof leaks. Keeping the truck overnight. I am also getting front driver side window seal replaced due to fluttering in the wind at 70 mph.

Dealer fixed the problem under warranty. Invoice said sunroof track was leaking and drain tube was found pinched.
Also had front driver side window seal replaced due to rattling noise around 70 mph.

Reason number 37 on why I hate sunroofs and will never buy another truck with one...
Glad the dealer fixed you up and I hope you don't have any more problems stemming from the water intrusion..

Glad to hear the dealer fixed the leak.
I couldn't agree with you more Big-Foot. I just factory ordered a 2015 F350 Platinum dually for that reason. All of the Platinum's the dealer could locate had sun roofs and I have put up with them in my last two trucks but not this time. I prefer the larger overhead console storage to the sun roof and I know there won't be any leaks now. I intend to keep this truck for a looooong time and with the current rebates the only downside to ordering a truck is the wait. Oh and I didn't have to pay $1,300 for something I don't want and wouldn't use.
Regards,
Lauren

Thought maybe the truck missed you and was crying... 
I can appreciate why others don't like things like sunroofs, cab lights, electric windows, Heat/air seats, computer screens. More stuff on the truck that can break.
On our Escape, have the Panoramic Sunroof, hope they add that type of roof, as an option, to the 2017 SDs. Great to have the extra light in the cab. Most days in spring, summer and fall I leave the roof cracked open. I wouldn't have a truck without a sunroof. We all like what we like.

On a hot August day in Houston, it is nice to be able to open the sunroof and power rear window to vent the 140* interior temps when leaving work so the A/C can take care of the rest. Other than that, I don't use mine much, but for that very reason, I really like having it. I just realize it will require a different maintenance plan than a full roof.
