    Rear swaybar parts list '04-'09

    Thank you for the encouragement. Two of the hesitation I had about buying an XLR showed up during my test drive at the dealer. There was too much wind noise with the top down at highway speeds, and there was too much lean/sway with hard cornering. When I read on this forum that I could add a...

    Rear swaybar parts list '04-'09

    I ordered the parts for a rear sway bar Sunday. I ordered from gmpartsdirect.com. So far the process is disappointing. Prices are up 20% since last year, not a deal breaker but where is that deflation I keep hearing about. The parts are "special order" and cannot be cancelled or returned...

    Fuel?

    Personal Experience The manual says regular is OK in the XLR 4.6L V8, but only use premium in the XLR-V 4.4L V8. I tried the premium for the first few tanks. Then I switched to regular. I could not tell any difference. It is still a screeming machine. I know this is anecdotal evidence, not a...

    How well does the wind restrictor work?

    I got mine from http://www.cadillacpartspeople.com/ It was just under $550 including shipping. After 3 months, I still think I made the best choice, athough I think the WindRestrictor is a very good 2nd choice.

    Nav System Map DVD

    I LOVE this car! Best car I have ever had by far. I still smile every time I get in. I just like to make it even better: o Upgraded grill; o Chrome rims; o Rear sway bar; o Cadi mesh windscreen and WindRestrictor (they take turns); o Garmin. Any NAV system is going to be dated...

    Nav System Map DVD

    Bought my 2008 XLR new two months ago. Nav disk was broken. For 6 weeks the dealer told me the disk was on back order. I bugged the owner and he gave me one from a 2009 until mine came in. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. The Nav is slightly more advanced than the old Pong video game. I am back to my...

    How well does the wind restrictor work?

    I did some more testing today, 7/31, so I am editing this review. Sli1 I have both the Cadillac windscreen and the WindRestrictor. They are both excellent products. Value - The WindRestrictor is the better value. I got a model without etching. I worried the etching might interfere when...

    XLR Tool?

    For clarity let me add, my tool is not shaped like a wrench but is the business end of a screwdriver. It should have a different part number than the wrench.

    XLR Tool?

    From the pic it looks like what I have always called the GM star screwdriver. I bought one several years ago to remove a headlight cover on my Olds 98. I just used it Friday to adjust the tension on my XLR mesh wind screen. You should be able to get one from an auto store or a GM dealer.
