tonyd2boys Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hello, just purchased a 2018 MKZ Reserve... love it. When I open the sun screen prior to opening the panoramic roof, it opens very loudly, shaking/stuttering the whole time. It closes much more smoothly/quieter. Any thoughts?

I am having the similar problem with my 2020.. when opening the shade it makes a loud scraping noise like its going to rip, but it closes smoothly .. Also when shade is open it rattles every time I go over a bump.. I am going in for my first service the end of this week or next, waiting for my service guy to call back when he as a loaner for me... I will bring it up, but my main concern is them ripping apart the head liner to get to the shade assembly and then putting everything back together again .. Or they will just tell me that they can not replicate the problem.. Just a note I did not order the Pano roof, but Lincoln stopped taking orders for new MKZs and I was not able to build and order like my previous MKZs dont know if it was because of the COVID or just slow sales and the last production model and Lincoln just said that was it ... I will keep you posted on my dealer experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbf2530 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi gang. As fusionff stated: In cases like this, if the vehicle is still covered under the 4 year/50,000 mile New Car Warranty, making a service appointment is always the best course of action. Yes, it does not hurt to ask online, but eventually an appointment will usually need to be made, since we do not just want to put a band-aid on things and then have the warranty run out. Of course, that advice goes out the window if the car is already out of warranty and we are hoping to save money by avoiding a service visit. ? Robert...There are two possibilities (well, actually three) why you could not factory order your 2020 MKZ: 1- Because it was past the cut-off date to factory order any 2020 MKZ's (especially with the MKZ being discontinued). 2 - Factory orders may still have been possible, but something you wanted to order (a color, option etc) had already been excluded from new production due to supply constraints. 3 - Your Dealer was lazy. It all depends on the date you tried to order/purchase. Good luck to all. ? Robert Iggy Cerami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it wasn't too long after that. I know that I got mine in under the wire in early January.

According to "ice-capades", the Final Factory Order Date was 2/28/20. Good luck. ? Edited September 29, 2020 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
