    Driver door hangs

    I got the hinge off eBay, took it to a local body shop and they installed it. If you've never done one, don't try to do it yourself. The geometry gets messed up and you'll never close the door properly

    Driver door hangs

    Broken/sprung hinge. I had to get mine replaced couple of years ago.

    2007 XLR top up/down sequance; trunk does not close

    Not just a TECH II tool, but the CANDI module that's needed for car communications

    2007 XLR top up/down sequance; trunk does not close

    That's a BS quote. It's all done using the same screen on the tool for both. If you do this, just do the relearn.

    Original XLR Radio

    I would start by pulling the fascia out, then pull out the radio/cd unit to check for any loose connections. A TECH II MIGHT be useful in tracing down a fault somewhere.

    2007 XLR top up/down sequance; trunk does not close

    You need access to a TECH II tool and perform a top relearn. That's happened to me several times. That's my guess

    UPDATE ON MY 2006 AND DEALER FIASCO

    It's been a nightmare. I'm getting Check ABS light and Stabiltrak light over 45mph, but the driveability is perfect. It's going back to the shop on Wednesday for more trouble shooting. But in the meantime, we're back to having fun on the road

    UPDATE ON MY 2006 AND DEALER FIASCO

    Yep, a high school shop student could have done better

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! - It is Salvage now!

    Shoulda bought it back from the insurance company and fixed it, if that was a possibility

    UPDATE ON MY 2006 AND DEALER FIASCO

    Middle of January I get a call from Sterling McCall Cadillac about my XLR that's been there since January 2019. In essence, they said we can't fix it, come get it, and bring our loaner back. So we go up there a couple of days later. Talk to the 3rd service manager since last year. They have no...

    Help! Trunk and top won't move

    If you're really serious, get a TECH II clone. I got mine for around 400$ including the huge case. Relearn the top 3 times and you've got your money back compared with the dealer charges. And that's if you find a dealer that has someone that knows about the XLR

    End of my XLR?

    No, it's at a local mechanic shop now. He didn't promise a time, and I told him after waiting a year, a little more wasn't gonna kill me.

    End of my XLR?

    Car was delivered to my local shop this afternoon. Tow truck driver actually started it up and drove it from the truck to the parking spot. Tried to open the trunk, and it's all messed up, it's happened before and a top relearn solved it, so not worried about that right now. I'm hopeful that...

    End of my XLR?

    Car is getting picked up by AAA tomorrow and being taken to a local shop. I trust the guy and he'll be able to tell me if it's repairable. The repair invoice total was 11,000$. I knew I had about 1500-1700 in it that I was responsible for. That's what we settled for. There's a new service...

    End of my XLR?

    Richard, the variable assist steering went out. It was driveable and no wrench in the dashboard. It went in for that. I had previous work done at the dealer (David Taylor, now Sterling McCall; no kin) and was always satisfied. This time was a comedy of errors. I thing they put an apprentice on...
