Moon roof

Moon roof
Truck's been through the car wash a couple times already - and it appears that the high pressure nozzles force a little water through the moon roof. Hard to tell exactly where...but it definitely is. Headliner not wet - but couple drips on the console, etc. The shade part was open. I know that moon roofs are basically designed in a way that a little water could get through and it drains down the pillars in little tubes. Makes sense that super high pressure water could be forced through the seals...still kind of sucks though. If it persists or gets worse - I will be taking it in. Ordered 3 F250's for work today - asked my dealer if that was normal and he said no. Not sure what to do...

For some reason I feel a little better that its a known problem...but then really pissed because its an $80K truck! It doesn't appear to leak in the rain - is it a car wash type problem on the 150's or is it more wide spread than that? I don't want them taking the glass out of the roof, etc. That seems like it wouldn't end well! These trucks are so tall - right at the limit of most car washes which are 7' or so. The nozzles are so much closer to these trucks than most vehicles that would go through. I drive 50K+ miles per year - and gets cleaned 2-3 times per week... Hopefully I don't have to revert back to hand washing. The unlimited plan at the local car wash is the way to go.

I did a little quick Google research... Apparently its a "wet system" and that's normal. Irritating as it is - it makes sense. Mine really isn't that bad - but water definitely gets in and most of it is on the tracks and then drains. I think with the high pressure from the nozzles - some of is deflected as it enters and drips in the cab. I can't believe that would be ok though.

My 2012 didn't do it either - that I could tell anyway. That truck had been washed at least 100 times a year - for 4 years. But that was a sun roof - this whole roof being glass thing seems to be the issue. I didn't really want it - but it comes with the packages/trim level that I wanted.

My 2011 has never leaked either...BUT...look at the size difference of the glass. You would think it would seal super tight...but..maybe due to the size of the 150 and '17 Superduties.... it is harder to make it air/water tight....or as tight as we would like it.
