Well...I guess I missed that one! I have the bumpy ride if my xlr sits for a week or so. Sorry for the bad input!

tires are flat spotted There is nothing wrong with your car/tires other than the fact you aren't driving it enough. The run flat tires are made of stiff compounds that develop flat spots when the car isn't driven for a while. Among the possible solutions, the best is simply to go for a drive...

I just bought pirellis for 700. So far good ride and low noise. Half price of the michelins <TBODY> Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 ZP 97W Run Flat 235/50R18 </TBODY>

I had the same problem last year after my battery drained. Took the car in and the top had to be "reprogrammed." Not sure what exactly this entailed, but the problem was fixed following the procedure.

Time for a new set of tires and am having trouble finding the OEM michelins. Apparently Michelin no longer is manufacturing run flats. I am hesitant on buying non-run flats as I have heard stories of undercarriage damage while placing the xlr on the roll back. Any other brand of run flats...

i'm interested in taking the wheels, tires, brakes and rotors but I can't seem to get in contact with you via messages on this forum. Please message me with your phone number and I'll call you.

Please send your contact info so we can talk about the wheels and possibly rotors/brakes I sent you a message with mine, but not sure it went through

Any curb rash on the wheels? If not, I am very interested since 3 of my 4 wheels are scratched up thanks to the previous owner.

Are these the same wheels as on a 2004? Will they fit a 2004?

abosolutely!!! I would only use belt dressing to diagnose belt slippage when the belt otherwise appears good....if the chirp goes away with dressing....new belt immediately. Thanks for callling me on that one....I didn't make myself very clear!

My '04 does the same thing...I think. I never noticed it as I usually have the radio playing. When I first noticed the sound last week, it was only when accelerating. When the accelerator pedal is released, the sound went away. I am going to check the belt condition and will probably replace...

same issue I had the same problem which began AFTER a drained battery. I am not sure what was done, but was told at the caddie dealer the car simply needed reprogramming.

I had the exact same trunk problem with my 04. The problem started after the car sat for a while and the battery drained. Following Battery replacement all seemed to operate as advertised after the windows were reset. The top opened and closed perfectly, but I noticed when attempting to open...

why was it painted? How much? How badly was it damaged?

OR you can purchase an alpine living air ozone machine (beware of imitations) for your home. Put it in your car to take care of the smoke smell then clean the air in your home as well. Works great. I have had the same machine for 18 years with absolutely no problems. Works great for the house!
