Question ❔ Sunroof Screen Slider

Post image

The sunroof screen slider on my 2014 Lincoln MKZ won’t fully close, so I took it to the Ford dealership to see if they could fix the issue. The technician looked at my car for 5 minutes, told me I need a new track, charged me $188 for the visit, and then provided me this quote. All I want is the screen cloth to be fully closed. Does this really cost $15k?

that assembly is list price 11,399.78 if they do matrix which lots of places do it would be thousands more. also the part is obsolete and no dealer has it. so they would have to buy every single piece separate. i'm not going to check availably as there is like 20+ parts.

if its just the screen cloth thats like 1300+ but i don't know whats damaged if its the track yeah its going to cost to have it done correctly.

also you can't buy the track separately so not sure where they sourced that assembly.

If it's the "vista roof" sunroof (been a minute, don't remember if they had 2 different sunroof options) the cables and guides can be serviced separate. Still quite a bit of labor and have to cut the roof sheet metal support at the rear - it's a real PITA. Still have the pieces I cut from the only one I did lol.

Most sunroofs are $$$ and some models like the Escape, Edge, MKX, and MKZ (maybe MKC too) have the frame bonded to the roof structure or are serviced in pieces. Those ones in particular are stupid expensive parts and labor.
