Replaced those also.....all hydraulics have been replaced except the rear top cylinders located at the very back of the trunk.

I have installed a new hydraulic pump and 2 hydraulic cylinders at a cost of about $2200.00 thus far, and my trunk will still periodically open about 3"-4" and then shut. The only thing that has not been replaced is the "trunk position sensor", and that will cost another $500.00 to replace...

Have your battery checked, i also experienced the same issue and it was due to low voltage. Our cars do funny and weird things when the battery voltage is low. :cool:

Thanks for the quick response. Contacted Plaza Cadillac (352-787-4300), this number was given to my the parts guru at my dealership. They indeed have the part in stock, but could not take an order over the phone. Told me to have my dealership order the part through the GM parts ordering...

It seems that this part is on back order, and GM does not have an ETA on when it will be back in stock. To date I have spent about $2500.00 in parts for the trunk and top mechanisms, now this hydraulic cylinder has failed and is leaking. Right now my trunk will open about 4 -6 inches and...

Which make or brand of switch back bulbs did you use? :cool:

I recently had the same issue, purchased a new pump from www.gmpartsdirect.com for $1056. 00 and had the dealer do the install at cost of $150.00 for labor.

WOW......$200.00 for hood struts, that's just ridiculous I changed mine about 6 months ago for about $37.95 for the struts on Amazon and installed them myself. The installation took less than 15 minutes. Amazon.com: 2 Pieces (SET) Tuff Support Front Hood Lift Supports 2004 To 2009 Cadillac XLR...

I agree, search around a bit best price I could find was $68.92 each plus $12.00 S/H. I have been dealing with it for a few months and just wanted to get it taken care of.

It was indeed one of the lift support struts, had both replaced at a cost of $253.00.....:pat: The struts were $92.00 each.....wow.

Nerkpowers......thanks for the speedy reply and I did not think of that. :pat:

I did a search and could not find anything on this topic. I had my hydraulic trunk and top pump replaced with a brand new one about two months ago. Now I am having two issues, 1) trunk will open about 6" and then just shut.... 2) trunk will fully open and then slowly start to close on its own...

Very much interested in the drivers side upper seat cover and the drivers side sun visor (if it is black), would appreciate pictures if possible. Thanks in advance......

XLRATING......thanks for the speedy reply, much appreciated. Never thought of that.:blinzel:

Trying to get some help for a fellow XLR owner in my area. He purchased a 2008 Platinum Edition XLR a few months back and has been having issues with dead batteries. Recently he went to his garage to take his XLR out and the car would not start and he saw 2 messages in the DIC the first was...

PM sent........:worship:

Thanks for the speedy reply, mine is starting to show signs of failure. Thankfully its not a discontinued part, but it costs over $1000.00 on most GM discount parts sites.....I can imagine what the dealer will want.....:cool:

Is the hydraulic pump for trunk and top available, it is the pump that resides in the drivers side trunk compartment. It controls the trunk and top.

If you are willing to travel to the East End of Richmond (Varina) stop in at Haley GMC on S. Laburnam Ave., talk to the service writer and have either Brian or Trey have a look at you car. Both are very knowledgeable and diligent, and are the only techs that I allow to work on my XLR.:cool:
