Thanks for the info! I tracked that article down several months ago and tried that but it did not help mine. The Cadillac service manager said my hinges were warped and quoted me an outrageous price. I didn't believe him anyway, I think mine has to do with the timing of when the top is in...

If you could find some pads that had threads that were less coarse or a softer material that would definitely help but again this is not a fix.

The problem with mine is when the roof folds and goes down into the trunk it is held there by hydraulic pressure. At that point there are two hooks below and on each side of the roof that come up and hook bars attached to the roof. On mine the hydraulic pressure releases before the hooks can...

Scratches on mine.

Nope. I have the pads on the shaved off bolts but I need to warn people this is just a temporary fix. I found that after serveral months with the pads even they will start to damage the paint. It's cold now so I will not be driving the XLR much if any so I will probably not get it into the...

No fix ☹️ The dealer finally called me and said after talking to GM they thought the problem was the main hinges were bent and it would cost about $4500 to replace them with no guarantee that would fix it. I said no. Sounds like a cop out to me. With all their putzing around with the top I...

I’m still waiting on the dealer to fix the top. They have had my XLR for 2 months now and still working on the top problem. Three of those weeks have been waiting on parts. To give them a little credit there were multiple other problems they had to fix. Just minor problems but since I haven’t...

How much?

I will but I’m not sure if I will take it in right away. I have to get some other work done first.

I’ve got the same problem with my top. I cut the screws off to prevent further damage but that is just a band aid, not really solving the root problem. I hooked my techII but it didn’t show any problems. I didn’t do a relearn but I don’t think it would have helped anyway. I’m going to take it to...

So I got my new Tech2 yesterday and have been getting familiar with it. Going to try it out this weekend, maybe try to do a relearn on the top since I have the problem of the top not latching down securely to the post. One problem I've found not that the weather is getting cooler her in the...

Thanks! Kind of a scary site security wise but it does the job. :thumbsup

so I just ordered a cheap tech2. Anybody got a pdf of an Xlr service manual?😁

tect ll So can anyone out there give me an overview of what is involved in doing a top re-learn with a Tech ll scanner? Does it require the service manuals?

New Guy My XLR has a Billy Boat exhaust which a previous owner installed. It has a remote control to actuate the bypass valve. It sounds very aggressive in “loud mode” and almost normal in “quiet mode” and adds 10 to 30 horse power from what I have read (not sure about this). They make exhaust...
