'09 - '14 Ford F-150 Sunroof Repair COMPLETE GUIDE

My son and I just finished repairing his 2011 Lariat in under 3 hours. Best instructional video I’ve seen on YouTube. We were able to recline the seats to keep from removing them, but followed the video and it went smoothly. Especially like it when tool sizes are given. Saves a lot of guessing. Thanks again!

As of 16 Jul 2018, there have been apparently 28 dealerships and/or body shops that have seen this video, and hate it for its glorious awesomeness, as it's taken business away from them. I can't imagine any other reason why persons would give this a thumbs down. Great job AutoRex!!

This is the best instructional video on YouTube. You can see everything from the instructor's view. It’s step by step articulate. No bull meandering talk. My son in law and I started at 7:30 AM. We finished at 1:00 PM. Took a 45 minute break for lunch. About 4.5 hours work. Parts $112.00 dealership wanted $2,000. Thank you so much, my hat is off to you.

I tackled this today. I've speed-watched this video a couple times prior to starting work. I put about 4 hours into the job with help from my teenage son. I can't thank you enough for going to the trouble to piece this together. You deserve some form of YouTube award for this effort.

Me and my friend fixed my sunroof yesterday, took us 7.5 hours but for a 17 and a 16 year old who had no experience I think we did great. We saved a lot of money and even gained respect from our families! Thank you for your useful content

Thank You AutoRex, I own a 2010 F-150 Platinum. Sunroof locked in the open position. Ford Dealer wanted $2,400.00 or a small mom & pop shop wanted $900.00. or $250.00 to shut it in permanently​. I decided to pay a little over $120.00 and watch a video from AutoRex. it took me and my son 6 hrs, but all well worth the money saved. From Odessa, Tx.Thanks again for that perfect video.

Hey man I spent all day Sunday with this video and it was awesome. No chance I get through the fix or even take it on without this video! So helpful that you call out the bolt sizes and that you even call out how you are disconnecting the electrical connectors. Thank you so much for making this to help people out. You rock!

I had an issue where after programming/re learning the sunroof motor, it would not tilt up after closing to seal with the roof line but everything else worked no problem. I chased this issue for 2 weeks only to find out it was something so simple causing it. I did not bend back the stops…. I even removed the assembly and replaced the components again thinking I had a batch of bad parts. How frustrating, but it’s all fixed now. Just wanted to comment this so other people that have the same issue can check this. Thanks for the great instructional video.

I'm not sure if you are still checking comments since this is 5 years old, but I can't thank you enough for this video. Your instructions were spot on and easy to follow. Fixed the sunroof in my 2010 F250. Excellent video!!

I normally don't post stuff online, but I have you say this is awesome... you are awesome... I live in california, and the dealership was going to charge me over 1k to do what you just showed me how to do... thank you so much!

6 years later and this is still helping people. I am about to have to buy and install a new sunroof mount and everything thanks to some not nice people destroying my truck. This is by far the best instructional video I've seen. it was straight to the point and no bull. just do this, then do this. So simple to follow. Will definitely have it playing while i'm installing mine. thank you!

Best how-to video EVER! Dude, you saved me a fortune!!!!! Ford wanted $2600 to fix my sunroof. Another garage wanted $2000. After seeing your video I went ahead and bought the kit, a few new metric tools and followed your instructions on my computer as I did the install. I literally just finished. It took me 8 hours (including clean-up and a quick break for lunch). Clearly I am not a mechanic. I'm happy to report it works!!!!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough! FYI: My truck is a 2013 Lariat so it was just about identical to the platinum.

Thank you so much! Even though I spent 7 hours doing this since I wanted to be careful, your video made it happened! A $100 kit and 7 hours later, I have a working sunroof! Thanks again!

You are the MAN! I just did my 2010 FX4 Screw. If you're mechanically inclined, have the necessary tools on hand, and watch this vod, it shouldn't take more than 2.5 hours, total. It's a perfect step-by-step video. Thanks bro.

8/11/19...I never post reviews but this video tutorial is absolutely incredible. My sunroof wouldn't close, so, I took my F150 to my local Ford store and they diagnosed it as needing a whole new track assembly and quoted me $2500.00 for the repair. After finding your video I purchased the same kit you show from the Sunroof Doctor ($120.00 including shipping). I followed your video step by step and everything came together just as it does in your video. My total time invested in the repair was about 3 hours and my sunroof works perfectly! Thank you for this video!

I was quoted $2700 to fix mine, I have the parts from sunroof doctor and I'll be repairing it myself this weekend, you've given me a bucket of confidence on doing this, this was a great service to the F150 community.

11 Apr 2020: I used this video to replace the sunroof tracks in my 2014 F-150. This is the most detailed, excellent, well filmed video I have ever used in at-home car/truck repair. Thank you for posting this, for posting the parts (and vendor), and for calling out the tool specifications. All total I spent 6 hours and $78 to repair an issue that the dealership quoted to me as a minimum of $2000. You have my thanks and my most sincere appreciation, @AutoRex.

You sir, and The Sunroof Doctor, are amazing! For less than $250 CAD I had the kit shipped to my house here in Ontario, and 2 buddies and myself had the entire project finished in under 3 hours. (that's with a Tim Hortons coffee break mid way) The dealership wanted to install a completely new sunroof for over $2000, and after I showed them this video and where to buy the parts they said it would still cost me at least $1000 in labor. Happy to have my sunroof working again just in time for the nice weather, without it killing me in the financial department. Thanks again!

You are the best. I paid a friend $200 to help me and we did it in just over 3 hours. With parts, labor , a rivet tool, I'm done with a total of $340. Compared to $2000 that the dealer quoted me. Plus, now I know how to do it if it happens again. Thank you for showing every detail.

This is an amazing video. A couple of learning moments for me. 1) The kit does not come with good instructions so you should photograph the broken mechanisms prior to removing them so you can reference them during reassembly. 2) do not use power hand tools to tighten any screws or bolts.... Thank you for this video, It saved me a ton of $$$
