I have a brand new two day old '04 Expedition with a moonroof. We live
in Seattle, and it's been raining hard. The day after we bought the
car, we walked outside to find (a lot of) water dripping from the
convenience lights in the second row of the car. There was a
substantial amount of water in the ceiling fabric, as well.

The moonroof was closed but I think it might have been the slightest
bit not fully sealed (I'm not sure).

Anyone ever heard of this before?

It seems like there should be a drain or something that would have
prevent water from getting into the ceiling no matter what.
Any suggestions on what to do?

Appears to have been a common problem with the Expeditions. If your
dealer is worth a darn, they would know if the Tech Service Bulletin
# 03-11-10 JUN 03 Body - Moonroof Water Leaks/Won't
Open Properly

for the 2002 Expedition still applies or has been updated for your
model.

Yup, even in Seattle rain conditions. Your vehicle is brand new, and
an eyeball to eyeball meeting with the dealer appears to be in order.

Moving to Phoenix...

Are you saying you may not have closed it all the way?
