Probably not worth any further electrons or precious remaining seconds from our dwindling lives to pursue the sunroof thing. Would have been nice, but not a game changer.

Could be related to how Ford Performance Group (FPG) treated the first 3 VIN digits in the VIN decoder that came in my packet.

It says that "2ME" means Ford Motor Company of Canada.

I suspect that the 2004 owners got a VIN decoder that says "2MH" is Ford Motor Company of Canada.

My VIN understanding is that "2" is Canada and "M" is Mercury. The 3rd digit is not related to the location at all.

That "H" in the 3rd position means Moon Roof. Not sure what the "E" is ..... maybe No Moon Roof. :dunno:

Either way, FPG could have done a better job on the first three VIN digits and the moonroof would not have slipped through the cracks. JMHO.

.... and YES for $45 bucks, I expected it to be correct. :D

Update:
If you have ordered and received your MM Certif. of Auth from Ford Perf Group and DID NOT get an Option Breakout sheet for your MM model year, call them back and request an Option Breakout Sheet for your model year. They should have sent you one in your packet. In my case, I should have received one sheet for 2003 and one sheet for 2004. I just got off the phone with FPG and they said that they will send them to me.

The Options and Build Sequence info is highly sought out and documented in Corvette circles. Glad to see that Ford has gathered the info for us and made it available.

Am I reading that right? Only 364 black '03's with heated seats? I thought the 6cd changer was a rare option, but according to that only 1400 didn't have it?

Heated seats were an option till sometime in January,'03 IIRC? I bought mine in Sept.,'02 and had them added by the dealer, same as the factory heat units except the control in the lower seat not the door panel.
 
I know it's a fairly old thread, but what's the story on the Standard 6 Disk? Only 1 ordered in DTR and 1 in Silver? True only 2 exist?
 
I know this an old post but I find it interesting because,,,when I bought my '03 new here in Victoria, Tx., the dealer had 2. Mine is black, the other was black, sunroof, and 6 disc changer. Just to add to the curiosity of the posts before. Don't know if the car is in the area anymore but the wife was at the local grocery, returning to the car (she thought), when she hit the remote unlock the car she was standing next to was not ours. Didn't ask if it had a sunroof.

The discussion above related to the Standard Audio with 6 Disk Changer. There were only 3 of those combinations made (1 in 2003 and 2 in 2004). There were lots of Audiophile Systems with the 6 CD changer combinations. About 80% of MMs came with the Audiophile with 6 CD changer (6286 in 2003 and 2514 in 2004). That's 8,800 out of the total of 11,052 produced (79.6%).

Just received word from one of the other members (Hwy73 from a "Marti Report") that there were 1,212 moonroof cars in the 2004 MM production. No further breakdown. That means that about 38% of MMs in 2004 had the "2MHHM" VIN identifier for a moonroof/incomplete vehicle.

So, only about 11% of the total production came with moonroofs.

If the moonroofs were spread "evenly" across the '04 color & interior combos, here's what the numbers would look like .....

2004 Black MM with Dark Charcoal -- 1,081 produced (408 with moonroof)
2004 Black MM with Light Flint-- 156 produced (59 with moonroof)
2004 Silver MM with Dark Charcoal -- 534 produced (201 with moonroof)
2004 Silver MM with Light Flint -- 463 produced (175 with moonroof)
2004 DTR MM with Dark Charcoal -- 574 produced (216 with moonroof)
2004 DTR MM with Light Flint -- 406 produced (153 with moonroof)

2004 MM -- 3,214 produced (1,212 with moonroof)
