Honestly, how many times does this group/forum need to address this? Like a stereotypical canadian,.I apologize in advance for sounding like a knob, but really?
I have had my 25 since January and come to the realization that the Hybrid drive train and associated noises are to be expected. My work vehicles are all Explorer Hybrids with the police package and they make different noises than my Maverick. My previous personal vehicle was a 2019 Kia Niro...
Gotta love the internet. One guy trying to help is adamant that the OP shouldn't spray anything into the lock and the very next guy tells the OP to spray WD-40 or similar oil product! Lol
You aren't alone. When I picked up mine, I stood in my dealership's parking lot for over 30 minutes trying to figure it out. Finally, I gave up, flagged down one of their lot guys who managed to help me install it in under 30 seconds.
I factory ordered my MY25 Lariat in August and decided to save the $1000+. My primary reason was that with my previous vehicle, I never used the sunroof, so why order it on the new vehicle.
