Be very careful about using the "emergency" procedure to manually putting the top down or up!!! Some one in an XLR top thread mentioned he had read the owners manual "emergency" top procedure and it looked "daunting". For me it was worse that "daunting'. I actually tried to do it. What a mess I...

Good Information Good useable information on convertible top control module. Thank you

That is a good thing That is a good thing. It's good info for the 2007 and newer crowd to know. Compared to my Wife's 2016 SRX, which has FOB key slots in the door handles, my 08 XLR is a pain in the toot to access with the FOB key. Did you get an error code on your DIC and if so, did you try...
