Mis-aligned Pano Sun Shade-Update

[Bryantbjb]

I hardly ever close the sun shade. Really like the pano roof. When I did close, it appears to be misaligned. I can see sun coming through the drivers side, not passenger side. My F350 with the pano does not have this issue. Has anyone had this issue? If so, fix?

Thanks

Another shot

I don't believe mine is like that. I'll try to remember tomorrow to look. But I think I would have noticed as I keep the shade closed a lot or it gets too hot in the vehicle in the AZ sun.

Thanks. lived in Mesa for 20 years. I remember the heat very well.

Mine doesn't let any light in by the shade. Maybe the dealer can see if it needs to be calibrated and it's not closing all the way?

Quick update. Dealer took a look, will not reset, so have to pull the entire liner down to fix. This is an overnight stay for the ST at the dealer.

Thanks for the update. Mine has a TINY gap that I'm sure no one else will ever notice. Please post again once the dealer is finished. I'm curious to see how things go.

 

[Bryantbjb]

Sure will. Appt is later in July.

Update. Broken cable in shade. Requires replacing the entire track one dealer reports. Taking into shop on Friday to a larger dealer with body shop, the smaller dealer I use said the job was too big for them. I’ll update late in the week.

Well, there is a good and bad. The good news is the pano roof is fixed. See attached report. The bad news is now I have a dent in my pano roof frame. Dealership is looking into it. Their initial response was “well, that won’t hurt anything.” Looks like about at thousand dollar fix from what I saw.

you're just another picky customer clogging up their service bay! hope you can get it resolved

“well, that won’t hurt anything.”

Dealer installing new pano roof frame. Parts to arrive in about a week.

Hey Guys. Just picked up a 2025 ST coming from a 2020. I just noticed the same thing. I take it this was a pain in the butt to fix?

I have a 2025 with both this issue and a exposed headliner posted here: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2025-headliner-exposed-at-drivers-door.8205/

Dealer inspected and tried to fix early November, but determined they needed to order both a new headliner and a new sunshade. Parts just came in this week, but appt not scheduled until mid-January when they can work me in and provide a loaner.

Sure hope they don't mess something else up when doing this work. Everything these days is two steps forward, one step back.

Picked up a 2023 over the weekend and noticed it when I got it in the garage. Light was peeking through when closed. Guess there’s a trip to the dealer in my future.
