just curious,is this a big problem with our cars? I have a 2000 and haven't had any problems yet.I let go of the button so i don't force it back any further to give it more life.Did ford fix this with updated gears or something?

Mine made that sound and they replaced the motor under warranty. Its a click, click, click sound and when it got REAL bad it would only open part way and then I closed it. Being curious I had to see if it was just a "clich", yeah right, this time it only opened a 1/4 of the way and I didn't think it was going to close, but it did. Although it was under the factory warranty, I'm glad I have ESP Another thing that I think is bad for the motor is when you open the moonroof and it stops and a little part of it doesn't go all the way in, I would hit the button a little more and make it go all the way in and sometimes it would make another click, click, click sound if you held it for too long , what a dumbass I was! I'm not sure if that was really bad for the motor, but I'm not doing it anymore, as far back as it goes is how its staying

2000's have the same problem with the plastic gears. Mine stripped last fall and I put off replacing it until this spring. Unfortunately, I don't think you can buy just the gears. If it ever happens, your best bet is to get a motor from a junkyard.
