Question:
Is there any issues opening the sun/moon roof with these racks in place?

Expert Reply:
With the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRCH4, and # RRRCP45-BK installed on your 2018 Ford Explorer there are no restrictions on opening the sun/moon roof but if you were to do this with the rack installed you most likely find that the wind noise is going to be loud enough you'd want to keep it shut.
If you check out the picture I attached you can see there would be plenty of clearance for the roof to open. The picture is a 2018 Explorer like yours with this rack installed but the vehicle does not happen to have a moon/sun roof.
I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out as well on this page.
