Sunroof Bonding Recall - Anyone complete this? 2020040011, 19V918

Has anyone completed this recall, if so, can you elaborate what was inspected and actually done?

Recall Campaign: 2020040011

MBUSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 2020040011
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V918
RECALL START DATE: June25, 2020
RECALL REPORTED DATE: Dec 28, 2019
COMPONENT(S): 19P7891003

SUMMARY
Mercedes-Benz AG ("MBAG"), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year ("MY") 01-11 C-Class (203 platform), CLK-Class (209 platform), E-Class (211 platform) and CLS-Class (219 platform) vehicles, the bonding between the glass panel and the sliding roof frame might not meet specifications. In this case, the adhesion of the bonding could deteriorate gradually over time. If the bonding adhesion were to deteriorate, the durability requirements might not be met which could lead to a separation of the glass panel from the vehicle. A displaced panel could increase the risk of a potential crash or injury for other road users.

CONSEQUENCE
In this case, the adhesion of the bonding could deteriorate gradually over time. If the bonding adhesion were to deteriorate, the durability requirements might not be met which could lead to a separation of the glass panel from the vehicle. A displaced panel could increase the risk of a potential crash or injury for other road users.

REMEDY
MBUSA will conduct a voluntary recall. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will check the glass panel bonding on the affected vehicles and replace the sliding roof, as necessary.

This has got to Britain now. I am pleased to have got the recall letter for my 2006 Mercedes. That really is great customer service!
I first spotted this during the winter when I started having water leaks from the roof. There will be no need to do the trick with the crane in my case, pressing the roof with my hand lifts it far enough to see the glue coming away.

The revised remedy says "The production date must be on or after 01-16-2006 or on on before 07-09-2006", does that mean in order to replace the sliding roof, the production date must be between those dates or outside of those dates?

My '06 CLS 500's sliding roof shows a production date 02/21/2005, curious if they will in fact replace it, i don't want to waste time heading to the dealer if they're just going to tell me it's not qualified (my schedule is a bit tight)

“Production date not between 01-16-2006 and 07-09-2006: End measure.” At your earliest convenience call dealer to see if VMI shows open recall for your VIN if so, I would suggest making an appointment to inspect and in turn close out open recall.
