Its not the easiest mod in the world, the motor will go straight on, you have to make 2 holes to mount it, thats the easy bit. BUT whatever the motors come out of obviously have a very deep roof, cos they sit below the headlining level on a escort, so you have to make some sort of cowling up, ive never seen one finished but i should imagine the cowling looks a bit wrong and ugly

When you say a genuine ford fitting one??

The motors everyone use are Ford, off another vehicle, im 99.9% sure Ford never fitted an electric sunroof from the factory, as its not a straight bolt on jobby.....but i apologise now if im wrong

yeah you use a granada motor with an escort cos cowling, but you will have to get your sun visors modded as they need the corner taking out where the cowling is!
