    Trunk issues, lid not staying up while stowing stuff in the trunk.

    From everything I've read it sounds like that deck lid is very heavy so make sure you have help and/or support to hold it wide open before you start.

    Trunk issues, lid not staying up while stowing stuff in the trunk.

    I'm no expert but it does sound like the struts are bad, I would start there. That may solve your problem and it's not difficult or expensive. Good luck

    I once had the trunk open and then I put the top down from the trunk open position and had no problem, but I never tried it the other way. I don't have any answers but I think a power top relearn with a Tech2 may solve the problem.

    Looking for front valance end pieces

    That sounds about right, I know the center piece is about that. I'm not sure of the length maybe about 12-14 inches as they appears to connect to the center piece as I see there is a hole in the ends of the center piece. There must be a flange on the top also for mounting. I may be interested if...

    Help! Scan Tools

    The site you are looking at lists the price at $250 plus $28 for the card, plus $65 for shipping and if they charge tax you're over $350.

    Help! Scan Tools

    It looks just like the one I bought with all the same pieces and parts, from a different company, I paid $312 delivered and it works fine.

    Transmission linkage failed, parking brake on and top is down

    You're welcome Good luck on the repairs, hopefully it's just the rear cable bushing. That's the easier one to replace, you can see it just in front of the trans when you look up between the exhaust pipes. You can easily reach up an shift the trans into park from there also.

    Transmission linkage failed, parking brake on and top is down

    There is a leaver just above the floor light by the emergency brake, hard to see unless you remove the cover plate but if you reach your finger up just past the light you will find it. I don't know for sure but I think that will release the brake. Safety first, good luck.

    Help! Scan Tools

    I have the Tech2 and I'm still learning it's capabilities but it seems to do everything I have needed and has already saved me money. I tried a scanner made by Xtool, do not buy that one. Not only did it not work for the XLR, it caused problems that I was able to fix with the Tech2.

    Looking for front valance end pieces

    I believe they are called left and right valance (air dame) they mount under the front bumper. I have the center piece but I need both ends. Any help? Thanks, Dennis

    Help! Programming 2009 XLR Key-fob

    You have to try everything, what do you have to lose. There is always the chance it's defective, it sounds like you're doing everything right. Good luck

    Help! Programming 2009 XLR Key-fob

    Dumb idea #1, put a battery in the new fob. Dumb idea #2, try it with the buttons facing to the left. That's all I got

    Help! need to replace the dash pad on my 06.

    I think you need to remove the windshield post covers first, the drivers side has the microphone in it so be careful removing the wires. My memory is a little fuzzy on this but I believe you need to remove the center stack face plate because there is a screw holding down the dash cover by the...

    Many error codes

    I have found that a lot of the problems with my car were due to loose wire connections, I would start there before you spend any more money. Inspect and clean every wire connection you can find, including grounds. Even if it doesn't help you will learn a little more about your car. Good luck...
