I had this happen this weekend, except mine was half open when the plastic clips broke, slamming the vista roof back as far as it would go(I thought for sure the glass had broken away and would have caused a crash, the noise when it happened was tremendous). I would definitely file a claim with the NHTSA, You can do it here: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/?

So last night I went to close our Vista Roof on our 2008 Ford Edge, but I heard a pop and then it wouldn't close. This morning I got around to looking at it and there was 2 problems. First it wasn't lubed properly (which I just fixed), but lead to the bigger problem. Both guide clips on both sides broke.

 

What are these clips called, how much are they?

How do I go about replacing them?

 

Now that the guides are lubed the roof slides with ease, any thoughts on crazy gluing them back together?

If i glue them back together how do I drop the window pins back into the guides?

 

We just had another baby last week and may be trading it in soon

 

 

Just had this happen to me over the weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the plastic pieces once they broke off since I was driving. I couldn't get the Vista Windows to close completely. What I did to get it to close was:

1. I used 100% Spray Silicone on all the slides including the rear groves.

2. Once this is done the Vista Windows will slide back and forth easily by hand.

3. I was able to close the Vista WIndow myself by using the Initialization process listed above. while keeping pressure (towards the front of the vehicle) using a wood block against the metal frame on the bottom front of the window (it has a 1/8" lip)

As stated above I can use the vent feature and the shade screen still functions.

The Scary parts was I always kept the rails clean and lubricates using 100% silicone, and when the plastic clips broke I was on the freeway with the Vista Screen half open, when the plastic clips broke the Vista Screen slammed back as far as it could go, for a second I thought the entire glass had broken and I was in for a world of hurt! If the Glass would of come dislodged or broke apart, It could have caused a major accident.

I did file a complaint with NHTSA this morning.

I updated my 2012 Edge Sport 3 weeks ago. When the software finished the update it said it failed, but It was updated to 3.8 and the Verification Tool said it was updated to 3.8. Siri is working and have had no other issues except Navigation. Since the update the GPS starts to wander as I am traveling putting me off road by at least 50 to 100 feet. The position update is always slow and shows me way behind my actual location. I took it to the dealer and they said I needed the latest A6 map update, so I went online and purchased the update, installed it when it arrived and it is still doing the same thing! I searched the forums and found out how to pull up the diagnostic screen, and checked to see if the GPS is loosing satellites. I am constantly pulling 12+ satellites. I am wondering if others are having issues after the 3.8 update, or should I go back to the dealer?
