My wife has a 2021 Ford Edge ST with the panoramic sunroof. It developed a very annoying squeak over a year ago. Finally got serious about fixing it.
Thought the squeak was coming from the rear hatch. Got back there and rode around. Nope. Then we noticed if you cracked the sun shade a bit the severity of the squeaking was reduced. Searched around the internet and found plenty of content discussing how the seals for the sunroof need to wiped down and lubricated. Did that. Nope.
Was out running errands today and my wife for some reason pushed up on the sun shade. The squeaking was nearly eliminated. Got home and took a good look at the tracks for it. Went and grabbed some 3-in-1 Garage Door dry lubricant and shot it along the tracks it travels in then cycled it 4-5 times. Took the car out and there is zero squeaking.
So if your Edge is cursed with that squeak that kinda sorta sounds like a rattle as well -- get some dry lube aerosol (the kind that comes with an application straw) -- and shoot the lengths of the areas indicated in the photo -- because contrary to popular belief it's not the sunroof that's squeaking -- it's the sunroof shade instead.
