Will a 2005 expedition moonroof fit a 1998 expedition?

Answer 1

Yes it will fit but it is not a direct bolt in swap. Even though the salvage yards will tell you it is.

the 98 has line up pins in the roof

the 05 has line up pins in the track assembly, remove the ones in the track assembly by drilling them out.

the motor and on the 98 uses an external control module

the motor on the 2005 has a built in module but it will plug into the harness on the 98.

use the complete motor/module assembly from the 05.

the rear extension motor support from the 98 must be used

the one from the 05 will not attach to the 98

also the 98 has tabs to attach the little cover that allows access to the motor

the 05 doesn't have these and the cannot be used from the 98.

I used a couple pieces of Velcro the reattach the cover

finally the drain tubes on the 98 are left to right at front and at an angle in the rear.

the drain tubes on the 05 are at an angle in the front and front to back in the rear.

the rear ones are no problem at all plenty of slack in the tubes and can easily be attached.

the front ones are a P.I.A. but with a little tugging can be attached also.
