Ford flex vista roof leak.

1 align roof opening panel. Water leak i bought a new 2017 escape se in dec 2017. I took it back to the dealer and they said the leak was coming from where the roof rail was connected to the roof. Local ford dealer has looked at it 4 times and can t find the source.

I just brought my flex to the ford delaer with vista sunroof leak on drivers side water on rear driver s side floor and liner on driver s side. Action follow the service procedure steps to correct the condition. I confirmed with a 2nd wash in my driveway. Water saturates headliner approximately where the rear drain tube is connected.

It has the factory installed roof rails. They explained that it is a lot of hours time to pull down headliner and replace tube. How old are the hoses. See pictures for more detail.

This may be more pronounced when parked with the front of the vehicle elevated. They diagnosed the issue as a broken left rear drain tube and quoted me 800 to replace. I removed the vista glass and performed a deep cleaning then lub. The panoramic vista roof was sliding rather slowly and had not been cleaned to my knowledge.

Went 18 months and 21k miles and now i have a roof leak of some sorts. It has been to the dealer twice and the headliner dropped once. Water leak roof opening panel. Rain leaks into my ford flex vista headliner only when vehicle is parked on a incline.

We don t get rain any more in central ca so this is the only way to discover a roof leak. They fixed it at no charge but it took. I have a vista roof and have not located any cracks. The drain tube on the drivers side has been cleaned out and air forced through it but we still have a leak.
