Ford Edge cracked panoramic sunroof issue possibly due to design flaw or improper replacement glass on Ford Edge

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing issues with cracked panoramic sunroofs, including stress fractures or cracks that appear without any impact on the glass. This problem is particularly common with the original laminated glass sunroofs, leading to concerns about potential manufacturing defects. Some users have noted cracks in the middle glass of the panoramic sunroof, suggesting these issues may not be related to impact damage. Additionally, there have been reports of sunroofs cracking despite infrequent use, raising questions about possible design flaws or quality issues with the glass. Owners also highlight that if the glass is tempered, even a small chip can lead to cracking, although it remains unclear whether Ford uses tempered or laminated safety glass for the Edge's panoramic sunroofs. In cases where the sunroof malfunctions, such as being slow to close, it may be necessary to replace the entire unit for proper repair, with reported average repair costs around $1,700. These concerns about durability and quality have led some users to question the design and materials used in the panoramic sunroofs of Ford Edge vehicles.
