I know what you mean about the service at the Mercury Dealer. I just moved
to NJ from NYC, and the only dealer that was helpful was the one located in
Jamaica, Queens,NY.There’s one next to me in NJ on route 124, that I still
have to check out though.
The problem has been fixed. We finally found that a seal in the fender well
for the sunroof was not properly welded at the factory. Had it fixed about
5 months ago and it hasn’t leaked since.
Ok check this out, I have a 0’6 Mercury Mountaineer and just a few days
ago, I experienced that same problem. And as I speak, another rain storm is
bearing down on my area. But the leak in my truck is coming from where the
2 front interior switches, and the rear air blower control is. And mine
started to leak only after I started driving about 2 blocks.
@clockwork1230 Wow that sounds like a safety issue with water around the
electrics. While i do like the truck, the quality of it is complete crap
If the problem persists, tell the mechanic to check the seals in the fender
well for the sunroof. This is what my problem was. There are seals in the
fender wells for the sunroof to drain the water that builds up on it. The
seal in my Mountaineer was broken, thus allowing water to flow into the
cabin and soaking my floor. Proper welding of the seal has since stopped
the problem and no more water gets in the car. Took the dealership 5 times
to find and fix the leak!!!
OMG!!! THIS is happening to me right now!!! Thanks for this email. I have
the 2004.
Man, that sucks. I would put something above the floor like a towel or
something attached to the passenger seat and the dashboard and see if it
gets wet. If it’s wet, you’ll know its a leaking sunroof, if not, its
something under the vehicle soaking the carpet somehow.
@4wheeler14 Yes, the first time it happend, i almost had a panic attack
thinking some kind of electric short was going to happen, or with my luck.
an electrical fire.. it only happens on days of rain where the rain is
coming down hard, but its still an issue. I love my mercury also.. but
youre right, the quality is comeplete crap. Thats the good old Ford company
for ya. lol
had the same problem, from all the research i did and self diag. i can say
the problem is either with the seals from windshield and sunroof, drainage
system of the sun roof, or the tubes attached to the drainage of the
sunroof. A car that new should have no problem with the under chasis. Mine
was fixed by replacing the seals of the windshield. They were loose in the
upper corners causing water to enter.
tried it. This has been going on for awhile and before they replaced
anything, the WHOLE floor used to get wet. After replacing the drains and
whole sunroof assembly, it only leaks in spots (like in the video). And
when i mean wet, i mean soaked. If i sit in the passenger seat and move my
feet around, i can hear the water squishing around under the carpet. At
this point i really doubt it’s the sunroof but i’m not giving up. I will be
like pains in the ass to the dealership until it is fixed
Sure thing. Is there water getting trapped in the housing somehow and
leaking later on after its been sitting? I would bring it to another Ford
dealer for a second opinion on any possible solution. Well, good luck with
your Mountaineer…my Mom’s sunroof exploded in her Taurus last year…what
a pain in the ass sunroofs are…
anyhow, thanks for the comment
I know your roof is leaking and all… But a vacuum never hurt anyone.
ya, at first i wasn’t going to get a sunroof, but then i thought it would
be cool…wish i hadn’t! The guy at the dealership said water might be
getting trapped in the drains and just running down whenever. Yet still the
problem is not fixed. That’s ok, i’ve gotten a rental milan the past 2
times it was in and i drove the snot out of it if you know what i mean:)
Thanks again
i had the 2007 mountaineer , but the good thing i cancled the sunroof and
replace it with rear view DVD , i was worried form the sunroof , my opinion
, eather you sealed the it for ever with high quality super glow ( like the
one used with carpets ) , my friend did it with his bmw , and it worked .
good luck
same shit happens to my truck, except the water comes through the buttons
to turn the headlamps on…
I also wanted to say that I too, left my truck for like 2 days and I had
that same leak. But your right, it might be the fender for the sunroof. I
really love this truck, and I already did a few minor mods on it like a K&N
air filter and a Cherry Bomb Muffler. I want to change the tailpipe and go
for a bigger one.
check under the floor for any hole, i dont think a car that new would do
that but if there r any i would bring it into the shop
Lincoln LS has two drains at the front of the sun roof. Each has a hose
going to the A-pillar beside the windshield. My driver side hose is off and
the hose is too short to have ever been on! I pulled down the headliner a
little and I can see. I tried to pull slack in the hose, but it won’t move.
I will have to piece it out eventually. For now, I put duct seal over the
drain hole on the driver side. That just makes the water go over to the
other side to get out. Stupid-Stupid design.Model T Crap
yes, that sounds like the problem i had. The water came running down when i
drove the car. This told me that water was building up somewhere, then
running down when the car moved First you want to tell a mechanic to check
the sunroof drains. They may be clogged. A simple “blow out” should clean
them.
