Sunroof Glass Bonding Recall
Finally got a letter from MB of North America, letting me know that parts for this recall are now available.
- Has anyone gotten this recall then care of yet?
- Does anyone have any details, what is all involved?
I for sure would not like to have any issues with my sunroof after the Dealership performed this recall, as it is, and has been operating flawless to-date.
I have the same issue with my W211 E350, and will post the same question in the W211 Forum.
Thanks very much in advance.

MB’s of all kinds.
Check your dealer. Cal with a vin #. They will tell you. Bring the car in. Get a loaner. Done in a day or so. I had this on my CLK Coupe.

As per below info from Konigstiger, I inspected the sunroof of my 2007 E350 as well as my 2004 C320.
- 2007 E350, showing a date of 10/15/2006.
- 2004 C320, showing a date of 07/15/2003.
It appears that both of my vehicles are not affected by the recall.
Both cars however still have to be seen by the dealership, in order for them to check and document the recall as being taken care of accordingly. (As per my service advisor at the local MB Dealership).
If you check your sunroof and your production date is not affected by the range as per below, the recall will stay with the car (i.e Carfax records), if you do not visit the dealer for them to confirm that your sunroof is not affected.

Just got a formal letter from MB Canada. Called their dispatcher and they insisted I book an appointment and drop the car off for a full day. 
Popped by the dealer instead for more information. Got a chance to look at their official documentation.
For the W203 coupes, only the sunroofs manufactured on or after 30 June 2005 are affected. My car was cleared. I was in and out in 30 minutes.
Yet another example for not blindly trusting dealerships.
The dealer also had similar documentation for the W203 sedans, but I didn't get a chance to take a look.
