What owners wrote
Conditions: the vehicle was in motion. I was driving on a highway. There was heavy rain. There is trim molding on the driver's and passenger's side of the windshield of the 2013 ford explorer. While driving a few weeks ago, the driver's side molding flew off, leaving exposed a strip of weather stripping, which was covered with a blackish glue.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that there was water on the rear carpet and the floor was wet. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the sunroof. The sunroof of the motor was disconnected, and valves and drainage pipes were cleaned. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the rear seats were wet, and the seat belt was wet.
