    Rear Sway Bar Bushings

    Just trying to help, but obviously you know more than I. I think you will find that most pictures on parts sites are a generalization of components used. If you pulled up both the XLR-V parts list and compared it to the Corvette parts list, you would find that the clamps are the same part...

    Engine / air cleaner element

    Steve, This is all answered in your owners manual under the maintenance section. 50,000 miles. If you don't have an owners manual, it can be downloaded from this site under the Tech Center tab and then the year of your car.

    Rear Sway Bar Bushings

    I do know for sure the Corvette sway bars will fit, as other members here have used them. If you re-read my post, I said try a complete package of the Corvette parts, as I'm sure any bushing would be different because the sway bars are different sizes. Some of the suspension parts on the XLR-V...

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    I always thought the headlights were good on the XLR. Especially from 2006 on; as they incorporated the articulating feature; which turned the headlights in the direction you are turning. Perhaps you have some issues with yours. You can also upgrade the fog lights to HID, which might give you...

    Rear Sway Bar Bushings

    I assume you were ordering the sway bar that was standard on the V's. You might want to look up the sway bar for a 2006 base Corvette and see if all those parts are available. I don't know what size sway bar it is, but it could be a little bigger and different size bushings would be needed. It...

    XLR Key Fob

    Just an fyi, if you do find the old fob; it will probably no longer work. It sounds like they reprogrammed your new and old fobs as 1 & 2; so the missing one is now a paperweight if found.:lol::lol:

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    As a former XLR, XLR-V owner of the past 12 years, I feel your pain and frustration; however the lenses don't melt, they only craze. It also only affects the daytime running lights; which can be converted to LED to stop the crazing; which many here have done. None of this affects the HID...

Supa & I are still planning on attending the event in September, even though Scarlett-V is in a new home in Central Michigan. I talked to the gentleman that bought her and it sounds like she is in great place. He is...

    Help! Convertible Top Troubles

    Great advise from BeardBros on adjusting the windows. Go in small increments. It is always best to cycle the top with the car running! It runs the battery down fairly quickly otherwise.

    GM Abruptly Replaces Head of Cadillac Brand

    You mean like when they were "The Standard of the World"! Somewhere they lost their way and don't continue with anything long enough to find their way back to that standard again!

    chroming

    I assume they are the OEM V wheels. Look up L.A. Wheel and Tire. They used to have an exchange program. You buy the chrome wheels from them and send yours back to them. I think the website is: lawheel.com

    sensor

    I understand you completely. I'm trying to help you out. All you have to do is try the key in the bumper, if the trunk opens, I'm telling you it is your latch. It happened to me on a trip and that was the only way to open the trunk. I couldn't even try to use the top switch, as the partition was...

    D2H

    I think you are confused Chuck. The new 2019 ZR-1 was at the Nurburgring doing test runs. It is not a mid engine Corvette it a C7 based car. The ZR-1 is a supercharged LT5 engine producing 755HP. The Mid engine Corvette will most likely debut at the Detroit Auto Show early next year.

    sensor

    It could be your trunk latch. Try the key the bumper. If it raises the trunk when you turn the key, it most likely is the trunk latch. Had this happen on my 06 V and that was the only way I could open the trunk. Partition in the trunk was down when it happened, so I could put the top down...
