As many have said the only really viable solution is to send back the sealed bass panel to Magnepan for repair. This is why a 20 or 20.1 is not really a sensible buy if you are outside the USA as the push pull panels are not easily DIY repairable if delineation occurs unlike the 3 series or tympanis. Would love a set of 20s or 20.1s but this issue puts me off as I'm in the uk. Can't afford the 20.7s!
I very much doubt Magnepan would be able to upgrade a 20 to 20.1 spec. Even if they could you'd need to send them back the whole speaker as the crossover values are slightly different between the two.

or if one were strapped for cash I supposed you could by-pass the bass panel all together and wire a DWM in it's place.

  Good idea! Might not sound quite the same though ...
  
  It's a shame Magnepan don't have a repair centre in Europe somewhere. I can do most stuff myself but not a mg20 bass panel repair.
