New 2003 Lincoln LS v8 - moonroof question

[jruppert]

I am picking up a 2003 LS today. Trading off my Expedition for something smaller with better mpg. I have been looking for a while and found this 03 vivid red LS with a moonroof and navigation. I noticed though that the moonroof doesnt go up but just slides backwards. I goes back effortlessly without any odd noises. However, it doesn't want to go up. I have no clicking or snapping of the kind. Do these moonroofs go up? I am wondering if its a switch issue. Also, this LS has the Nav /THX sound. The display seems kinda cheesy but it is a 2003. Did they every change anything with the display throughout the years? Are there any updates for the NAV? Thanks..

Will post pics this weekend

Push in/up the moonroof switch.

The appearance of the screen was pretty much the same from 2003 to 2006.

Just picked it up. Runs pretty good. I am thinking that maybe someone lowered it but not sure. Has a nice growl to it when getting into it.

I noticed I have an issue with my rear passenger wheel. Any ideas as to what is up with it?

The LS has some negative camber in the rear normally, but that looks a little excessive and rear camber isn't adjustable. I would have a competent suspension shop check for broken/worn out parts.

Jesus. My guess is worn LCA bushings causing that camber. Most of the high mileage LSs I see look like that.

I will have to take a look at it this weekend.
