In response to the inital question. I have just occured this problem with my 08 edge with the vista roof. First I wanted to say that fully understand the settings of the moon roof and its "comfort settings". I noticed when we bought the vehicle that when closing the roof completely its seemed to close very slowly with very little power. Yesterday when I attempted to close the moon roof it powered out and completly stoped roughly 8" from where it was suppose to. It did not drop down into the seated position in the tracks. I tried multiple times to get it to work, opening and closing it, closeing the shade (after closing the shade and re-opening it I noticed that it re-opend in a jerky sparadic movement and not continuous like it usually does). I brought it into the dealership and he said that this was the 10th edge that has come in with this problem. Although mine was the first 08 to come in with this problem, he stated that many 07 across north america have come in with this problem, so many that Ford had to have their engineers go back and look at the engineering of the moon roof and redesign some of the parts. He stated that many times the brackets that hold the glass up and slide along the tracks were made too stiff in the 07 models. These brackets needed to be changed out to be less stiff. According to the parts manual from the Ford dealership, these faulty or problem parts were said to be changed in the 08 models, but as you can see from my problem, some vehicles still require them to be changed. I dont know exactly how much it is going to cost me because I brought it in yesterday, but I was given an estimate from the mechanic of roughly $3000 for parts plus labor. This problem is more common then some may think, so when my basic warrenty runs out you better believe I will be purchasing the extended warrenty.
