Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing sunroof leaks that lead to flooding and window issues, often caused by problems with the roof rails rather than the sunroof itself. These leaks can result in stains on the headliner or wet carpets, and clogged drain holes around the sunroof, often filled with debris like pine needles, can exacerbate the problem by allowing water to leak onto the carpet. Additionally, disconnected or clogged sunroof drain lines may allow water to enter the vehicle. To address these issues, some owners find it helpful to regularly clean the drain hoses and tracks, check the front drains to ensure they are clear, and use compressed air to clear out drain holes. In cases where rust has caused a seal crack, replacing the sunroof may be necessary. For persistent issues, seeking professional help from a Ford dealership is recommended to properly diagnose and fix the problem.
