Sunroof leaks water, and when opening it is making a grinding noise, so I keep it closed in fear of it breaking in the open position.

I opened the sunroof a bit so it wouldn't get so warm when the car was parked outside, then go to close it and the one side breaks, the motor and all still runs and pops it up as others have stated. The good side of this is I get to park my car in the garage so it doesn't get rained in. ;)

Track locked up 5 years ago and got stuck open. I took out the headliner, removed the moonroof assembly, forced it closed, re-installed, and disconnected the switch (would open but not close). For the price of a new assembly, I figured I'd just have a coupe.

Slide on left side of moonroof fractured a couple of years ago and will not allow roof to close tightly. Sealed unit requirea complete replacement, according to Ford dealer, at a cost of about $1600. It seems pretty lame for a part that probably cost a few cents to make and could be easily accessible.
