    Help! XLR 2004 Headlight Assm.

    No longer available through GM parts sources. You will have to search eBay, salvage yards etc. to try and find one. Be prepared to pay big $$$$ for a working one and not necessarily in pristine condition either!!

    Help! Trunk Rubber Cone

    Dan, rexster314 is correct on the part. Can get them at any GM parts online store or your dealer. Not expensive at all. If you notice, there is a nut above it that is not part of the part, but is used for adjustment. Make sure you put them back the same, as this is the up and down adjustment...

    Strange trunk/top issue

    You must re-index the windows once the battery has been disconnected. The top will not operate until you do this. Start the car and push and hold the window button down and let go all the way down and hold the button for about five seconds. Now pull and hold the button up and let the window...

    Run Flats for the V

    Run flats for the base XLR are not an issue, there are options for the 18" wheels, but not the case for the 19" V wheels.

    Run Flats for the V

    Gary, The Eufori’s have been discontinued for quite some time and if you are on the original set they are at least 10 years old and should be changed regardless of tread wear. The V wheels are the same size with staggered size tires mounted front and rear. The 255/40R19 will fit both front and...

    Reading lights not going out in a timely fashion

    Steve, If you turn the mirrors light switches off, the lights will still come on when you open the doors, and will time out when the doors are shut.

    Raio/CD display with crest and wreath

    Since I don't have my XLR-V any longer, I can't go out and test this, but I seem to remember there is a button just below the Tune/Seek button. If you press that I think it will display the wreath and crest on the screen.

    Fuel system codes, need some help.

    I'm assuming you have a Tech II and are deleting the codes once you have changed out your parts. Do you have an aftermarket cold air intake or the stock system? The mass air problem pops up mostly with aftermarket intakes. They also draw more air, which can cause the lean fuel codes. If your...

    Headlight issues

    Dave, Can't help on the DRL issue, but the strobing headlight is the bulb most likely needs replacing. HID lamps tend to do that at end of life. The bulb is a D1S, available at most auto parts stores. Check the wiring for any possible shorts on the DRL issue would be a good start while you...

    Supercharger system coolant : How do you check coolant level ?

    There is a plate at the top with two screws. Remove those and you should see coolant. It's a closed system, so unless you have a leak somewhere, you shouldn't need to add anything.
