Avoiding the virus!

There is no virus just sheep following democratic commie propaganda.

Machine polished huh

Almost 300 thousand Subs

I agree. Watched these guys almost my entire life. I'm 47 now

I just watch it on tv. And sometimes watch the retro reviews on KZfaq

People would rather subscribe to boys putting on make up instead of actually learning something. It’s a shame

@@ecymbura31 🤣🤣🤣 true.

He’s fixing cars in heaven now, and I’d like to think going down to hell to fix grave digger and some dragsters. What an absolute icon.

@@wstreff oh my gosh, I JUST came across his page. He seems so knowledgeable, genuine, and gentle with his passion. I’m sorry you guys lost a great person to go to on here :(

Anything that moves (metal to metal) will need lube.

Chris Freemesser it’s good to see the Goss still at it see ya on the 12th

Update. Blaster White lithium grease saved my sunroof! DO NOT use dry lube it will NOT work!!

How’d it work out after you tried lithium grease?? I just stumbled upon this video because I’m trying to clean my 14 Kia optima sxl LOL

@@user-xf5dj1up8g It ran perfectly after! Just make sure you clean it thoroughly before and remove any particles that can cause blockage in the tracks. Apply a light but generous amount to the inside of the tracks kinda like this video. Test it and see where the most points of contacts are and wipe down any excess.

So don’t use grease??

You paid minimal for the lubricant, and the rest was labor. Paying shop labor for a mechanic's time is not "screwing". If you can do it yourself, do it yourself. Don't expect someone else to do it for $5 an hour. Some brands sell a specific grease for lubricating the mechanism. Use that. I currently own a VW hatchback. VW has a specific grease to use for sunroofs. By all reviews, people say it's superior stuff, and do NOT use a chassis/axle/bearing grease. Just like oils, grease products have a massive range of formulations.

I have a 2019 VW with a leaking sunroof. This is about cleaning glass. This is a design flaw. The drain tubes are either angled wrong or pinched.

Coronavirus, @Nemo Nemo. I'm telling him to stay safe.

from what I understand, you spray silicone on the rubber seals to keep them in good condition. the moving part should be sprayed with dry lube, as stated in the video.

Lol probably because it's a Ford

@@kyron2092 😂😂😂😂 Her 2017 Edge is a titanium model with option group 300A (base titanium) which don't include panoramic roof. It's a former rental vehicle.

Clean it with soap and water. Clean the mating surfaces with soap and water. Apply silicone lubricant to the gasket. Avoid petrol chemical solvents as this will degrade the rubber. If you garage park it in a secure location, keep the roof open for a day or so every now and then, to allow the seal to expand and relax instead of stay compressed all the time.

@@exothermal.sprocket thank you so much! A new gasket is about $160 ish

@@jeremy6384 No problem!

Use either graphite spray or Teflon spray.

Disable it if you can. Wears out the starter and battery , even if they say it doesn't.

Supposedly these vehicles have different starters that can handle the increased usage.

The starter motor is upgraded for longer life due to the repeated starts. I work at an FCA dealer and only seen one ever go. The batteries on Stop/Start cars are AGM deep cycle type, and in some vehicles they have two batteries, a regular sized one and a small motorcycle sized one. Battery life in these applications vary, but seem to have a shorter life.3-4 years and they need a new battery(s). The newest thing we have is E-Torque, which is a Stop/Start system which uses a 48 Volt Belt Starter Generator, and a 48 Volt Battery pack. The vehicle is still otherwise a 12 Volt based system, with an AGM 12 Volt Battery and conventional starter which is used for initial starting of the vehicle. For Stop/Start restarts, the 48 Volt BSG is used. The 12 Volt battery is charged through a power invertor in the 48 Volt battery pack.

The drains can get clogged even if you rarely open it.

Common problem through all there year models

did you ever find a fix to this, mines do the same.. they start closing real slow or opening real slow and sometimes they struggle to open

I missed having one so much, I’m so glad to have one again

Yes. IDC for sunroofs because they are prone to leak if you don't take great care of them. Plus, they take up lots of headroom.

Probably a detailing brush

Vacum & brush

I worked at a ford dealer and saw this happen all the time. Its a massive job, the whole headliner has to come out and about 4 guys have to lift the sunroof out of the roof of the truck.

Ricardo Chavez - My Integra’s sunroof still works fine and it’s 22-years-old.

Panoramic sunroofs (moonroofs) are different than just a 'normal' moonroof, which tend to be more reliable than pano roofs.

Thats just ford...... fix or repair daily

Actually your response should be, I will never buy a FORD again. I have owned many Japanese cars with sunroofs, mazdas and hondas never ever had an issue. Quit buying American crap, you won't have crappy issues.

Ray Cook .. Yes it would work great.

Why on earth would you put anal lube on a car?? LOL Why not just use Boy Butter..LOL

Manufacturers sometimes sell a formulated grease specific for sunroof mechanism. Use that. Do NOT use chassis/axle/bearing grease. Like oils, there are dozens of grease formulations for various applications.

Awesome comment

Does your refrigerator have an ice maker?

What kind of drains does a panoramic sunroof use? Im asking because it looks like my front drains (in corners of sunroof) drain into a gutter-type slot above the windshield and simply drain down the outsides of the windshield (the gutter-type slot is covered in a rubber gasket). At least that is what it looks like to me

I agree. Especially after watching this. I do not want to have to deal with all the maintenance and upkeep. Also they reduce headroom. Certain option packages and trim levels FORCE you to have a sunroof, and so a lot of people who don't want sunroofs are stuck getting them.

Moonroofs are more common than sunroofs. It can be nice to let more light in with a closed moonroof. Plus, the tilt feature can be handy for venting.

In my past 3 leased daily drivers. I have not once opened my sunroof.

If it's a factory installed power sunroof it will have a sliding shade to keep the sun off the car's occupants.

Knock on wood, but I've had a few cars with a sunroof and have never had any issues. They also come with a sliding shade that keeps the heat out.

I will not buy a car without one

xadam2dudex My dad doesn’t have a sunroof in his Dodge Journey! He’s 6 ft 6 and the mechanical part for the sunroof take up precious headroom, so he prefers no sunroof.

@@jacobg.witmer yep they do reduce headroom on some car it can be detrimental

xadam2dudex I don’t mind having one. I just flat out not use it most of the time. When I do use it, it’s a chimney when the AC isn’t working! My Kia Sportage has one! Also my Kia: It has a cassette player I still use these days in 2020! Lol 😂

......From an american car company..correct.

I believe he washes his hands before these segments but he mostly manages his garage now days I think .. Most quality shops have their mechanics wearing gloves to protect them from cancer caused by the oil and other chemicals under the hood

Oil kills

And hear your music and smell your cigarette? No thanks dirt ball

Not even a 2020? Stop bragging about an Altima, lol.

I agree.

Better yet, ride a motorcycle.
