Jeep Liberty Sky Slider Roof Malfunction Causes Leaking and Inability to Close on Jeep Liberty

Some Jeep Liberty owners report experiencing issues with the Sky Slider roof, including leaking and difficulties in closing properly. Common problems noted include the roof lifting while driving, broken control cables, and failure to open or close, which can be particularly frustrating during rainstorms when leaks occur. In some cases, owners have found that the Sky Slider roof can unhinge off track, resulting in severe leaks and potential safety hazards at high speeds. While pressing the roof switch center button may help close the roof if it is not fully closed, persistent issues often necessitate replacing the entire Sky Slider assembly, which can be a costly repair. Additionally, since replacement parts may no longer be available as of 2019, addressing these problems has become increasingly challenging. To mitigate these issues, some owners recommend maintenance steps such as replacing the outer hard lip with a softer rubber gasket, upgrading the front bow, and regularly lubricating the cables to ensure smooth operation and proper sealing.
