2020 Electrical problems

I’m having a few small issues on my 2020 and was wondering if anyone else has seen some of the same problems. I have 4,400 miles on the truck and in the last month I started to notice the mirrors would randomly extend and I wouldn’t be able to retract them with the button on the door. This would normally happen when I wasn’t in the vehicle and would randomly start to work on its own. Today I picked my son up from school and noticed the mirrors had gone out on they’re own for the first time in about 2 weeks without me being able to control them. Some time between 4pm and 9pm tonight my rear sliding window has started to do the same thing getting stuck in the open position. Of course we are supposed to be getting 4” of rain in the next 48 hours so I had to duct tape over the center of the back window to keep the interior from getting soaked. I’m planning on calling the dealer in the morning to get an appointment but I wanted to see if anyone has had these same symptoms.

holy crap. Just think if the moonroof opened up at night with an inch of rain. Try explaining that to ford.
now, the mirrors telescope with power off. The roof and the rear window need accessories on. That’s really weird.

I made sure not to get the sunroof due to issues I’ve had in the past with my Silverado High Country leaking. The frustrating part about this one is I don’t know when it’s doing it or why lol. I made an appointment but it’s not until October 12th so I pulled the sound insulation back from behind the back seat and used my power probe to manually run the motor and close it. I left it unplugged because when I touched the metal motor housing it was extremely hot which is telling me that something has been commanding the motor to continue trying to open since it did it last night. Really hope they can figure this out because I’m hoping to keep this truck for a while but an electrical nightmare may change my plans.

that’s actually good news and seems the rear window is just a sticking solenoid. That would explain why it was open with accessory off.

Any Update? What did the dealer say/ do for the mirrors that didn't extend or retract.

I'm having the same issues.
