elijahbird7 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Today is sunny and mid-50° here. I had to get a new Hydralic Jack from Harbor Freight because my old one is just past due for replacement and I need a good one to change oil on my Classic Cars. On the way home, I opened the Moonroof for the first time, arrived home, took the new Jack out of the rear hatch and closed it. I then put my Car Cover on the Nautilus, went inside and about 15 minutes later, the alarm was going off and my phone notification from the Lincoln Way App beeped as well. So, I figured maybe the big Cargo Package Matt had slipped back and the rear hatch hadn't closed completely. Checked that and pushed it forward a little and closed the hatch again, locked it up and 15 minutes later, Alarm going again. It seemed like the Sound was coming from the rear of the car, not like my MKX which had sounded like it came from under the hood, and not as loud as my MKX was, but anyway, I finally figured out I hadn't closed the Moonroof...like I said, Stupid Me!!

akirby Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Wish I'd had that on the wife's Escape. Normally parked in the garage but for some reason I parked in the driveway and left the moonroof open. Huge rainstorm the next morning - interior was soaked and everything was dead. Everything was ok after it dried out except the moonroof - ended up getting the motor replaced under warranty. I think it washed out the grease in the moonroof tracks.

shoeguy Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I once had a Cavalier convertible. Left the top down when I took my daughter to a matinee, the heavens opened up and it poured for an hour or so straight. It was a mess for a week later . Soaked like it just came out of a lake. Good thing it was the middle of Summer. I left the top down for a week straight to dry up. Good thing all the electrics were not compromised.
