You won't be able to swap a factory moonroof to an Escape that didn't have a factory moonroof.
Factory moonroofs are completely different from aftermarket add-on moonroofs. Instead of the "sandwich" bracket used on an aftermarket moonroof, a factory moonroof is a different stamping from a roof without it. The outer roof sheet is stamped downward and spot-welded to the inner roof sheet and then rolled upward to form a "mote" with a vertical lip. That lip is press-fitted with weatherstripping, and the mote is drained by pipes that run down the pillars. Water can't get into the roof in a factory moonroof unless the mote rusts through or one of the drain pipes leaks.
