Ford Fusion sunroof not closing properly, leaving gaps and water intrusion issues on Ford Fusion

Problem overview

Some Ford Fusion owners report experiencing issues with their sunroofs not closing properly, which can lead to gaps and water intrusion. These problems may stem from sunroof track or motor issues, where the functionality of the sunroof switch and control buttons needs to be checked. Additionally, some owners find that the sunroof opens fully but fails to seal correctly, often due to sealing mechanism problems that prevent the glass from sitting properly. Another common concern is the adjustment of the deflector plate; while pushing down the spring on the deflector may help, it is not always effective. Furthermore, the bounce back feature in some models can complicate closing if it detects an obstruction, which can be frustrating for owners. Lastly, if water intrusion occurs, it is crucial to check the sunroof drains for clogs, as clear drains are necessary to prevent leaks. Accurately diagnosing these issues is essential for implementing effective solutions.
