What's wrong?
The Hollandia 600, Hollandia Tvs 900, and Hollandia 700 sunroofs use a pane of glass mounted into a metal frame. An adhesive bond holds the glass to that frame and helps keep the sunroof sealed while the vehicle is moving, flexing, and exposed to weather.
On affected Webasto sunroofs, the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame can separate. Once that bond starts to release, the glass is no longer held the way it was designed to be held. Complete glass-to-frame debonding can develop gradually, and if the bond lets go far enough, the sunroof glass can separate from the vehicle.
Owners have specific warning signs to watch for: metal corrosion around the sunroof frame, new wind noise, vibration, visible bond separation, or water leakage. Any of those signs means the glass-to-frame bond needs attention before the sunroof is used normally again.

What's the safety risk?
If the sunroof glass separates, falling glass creates a road hazard, strikes traffic behind you, and increases crash risk. Watch for any looseness or movement in the glass and schedule recall service when contacted. Repair will be free at any franchised Webasto dealer once available.
