Rule62, FYI I would like to add something about jacking up the car. I have owned many special cars over the years and the XLR is the first car that I was not able to jack up the front while the wheels are on the ground and I have low profile floor jacks. Look at your owners manual for the...

Tires are 255x40x19 on 8.5 inch rims. I put a lot of thought into rim width and tire width and decided on this combination because I didn't want any issues with clearance. I seen where people were using wider rims and tires but I decided it wasn't needed for this car. I'm happy with my decision.

Took some pictures today. I bought this 2004 with less than 10,000 miles on it about 5 weeks ago and I'm still in the process of getting it to my taste. Click the link then double click the first picture for a full screen view and advance to the next picture. I will improve this album in the...

graytoad, I'm not sure about the JUNIOR amps but the description of one should tell you. They always keep my 2 cars with wet cells fully charged. I put a Odyssey battery in the XLR and I had to get a AGM BATTERY MINDER to keep it charged and it seems to be working fine.

I use a BATERY TENDER JUNIOR which is a smaller version of the one above. I like the JUNIOR because the unit plugs into the wall outlet and a lead wire runs from the unit to the car, no unit to sit somewhere. You can buy extension wires which I run to the ceiling then down to the car so you...

I have not owned my XLR long enough to speak for what is normal but I did own an Eldo with the Northstar and never had a consumption problem. If it was my car, the first thing I would check the oil filter for a leak at the gasket and it may only leak when the engine is running which creates...

Windows go down first then the trunk lid opens. I have watched videos of the roof being lowered and raised on YouTube. Search Cadillac XLR and there will be some that demo the top. Try this one, at about the half way point: https://youtu.be/xFDAKgxSycg

CC, Thanks for the info I will take the seat out and inspect as you suggest. I bought a memory seat switch just in case the one I have is the problem. Thanks again, Bill

Everything works except the memory seat control. I will check under the seat. Thanks.

I bought my XLR a couple of weeks ago and have been doing things to get it to my taste and fixing minor flaws. The only thing that is not working is the Memory Seat function. I will check the fuse but the owners manual shows other things on the same fuse and they all work properly. It could...

I have one of those on the way also.

I'm in a hurry so I bought the Battery Minder trickle charger that was recommended. $100 and it is on the way. The battery should be here about the same time. I should then be good battery wise.

I have received two responses from Odyssey. I asked twice if a BATTERY TENDER would maintain an Odyssey battery. The two replies follow: Reply 1 ..... Bill – We do not support Battery Tender maintainers because they float charge at 13.2V and our float range is 13.5V to 13.8V. We...

I have used CARISMA in the past to do paint less dent removal and they did a super job. you should call to se if they will do the job for you. I use a local auto body shop, LC Auto body, on RT 30 about a mile from me. I know the owner and they do nice work. I don't know how they would handle...

lextoy, Thanks for the information. I will be ordering tonight. I wanted to read some replies from this tread first. The car won't be in use for about 3 weeks. The front bumper cover has a few minor marks so it will get spot painted. New wheels and tires get mounted next week and I want...

Hello, I just purchased an XLR and I'm in the process of getting things where I want them to be. One thing is that even though the battery looks new I have no way to tell its age. I decided on a Odyssey Battery. I used search for some information. I have a BATTERY TENDER hooked up with...

I no longer need the help, Thank You
