Has anyone ever replaced the front part of the fiberglass top. Mine blew off, to my surprise I discovered it is only held on by and adhesive made by 3M. Is this something I should have professionally done or should I do it myself. The Trim Shop said they would do it for $200 but not guarantee...

Convertible top hydraulic fluid Can a substitute hydraulic fluid be used in the pump or is it GM specific? I see numerous brands but ignorant to whether they differ like oil. Thanks

1st of all thanks for all of the valuable advice. The XLR is like raising a child something new and different every day. I followed all of the steps to close the top manually however after turning the wrench a quarter turn the latch holding the top still will not release. Has anyone experienced...

MY apologies, I read the owners manual. I'm more of a visual person reading instructions I find difficult. I look at the box to see how it goes together. Anyway I did turn the valve on the pump , do I leave it open until top is closed? I understood the instructions to say that I close it after...

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! I have read the instructions over and over. I have finally gotten to the point of inserting the wrench in the headliner and turning, roof still will not release. Why not, what haven't I done? I've also checked fuses I found none blown yet I hear nothing when I press the...

Hard top manual release HELP ME PLEASE again I'm new to the XLR but I love it. My top quit working in the down position. I've read and reread the instructions on how to raise manually but still no luck. I finally found and removed the headliner plug and turned the wrench 1/4 turn as...

My top quit working. I'm not hearing any sound. Could it be a simple fuse blown if so where is it located,I don't see one under the hood. Is it something more costly and serious? I'm new to the XLR but learning fast thanks to the forum.

Ignition Coil Thank you this was a major help the part number was right on point. Let it be known that although you can purchase a single coil that states it will fit your XLR it will not. GM designed the XLR coil to be replaced as a four pack system. I believe I'm saying that properly I'm...

I have ordered an ignition coil online and I purchased one from AutoZone locally neither one will fit my 2004 although both places said that the coil was for my 2004. I only need one not the entire set of course the dealer wants me to buy A4 pack for $350. Has anyone had this problem that can...

I know most owners like to keep their car original but I have a 2004 XLR and I love the look of those air vents on the 2009 model. Does anyone know if they will fit on the 2004. Cadillac parts guy did not know the answer and if I order them and they don't work they will charge a 40% restocking...

Hello I am a newborn XLR owner 2 weeks old. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best spark plugs to use in my 2004 sweetheart I call Raven. Thank you
