    ALTERNATE TAIL LIGHT

    I read about the srx lights and board, but the priceing of that tail light has gone up to around or about $100. might as well send them out at that price rather than taking a chance of damage and or not having the repair last or a long period of time.

    Must read: Replacing trunk lid struts

    Well you have to remove the trunk divider cover and carpet nothing to do with the hydraulics no problem you got it done I must have had more access to the strut as I was replacing the left side main top cylinder at the same time because the trunk kept shutting on me and all that was removed. So...

    Must read: Replacing trunk lid struts

    There is no reason to unscrew anything the access is at the bottom both sides all that is needed is a flat head screw driver to hold the clip open at the bottom then pull it out after the socket is in the knob.

    Must read: Replacing trunk lid struts

    Ya we been raining here also been cleaning the hydraulic fluid off the trunk floor and replacing the cylinder on the other side main roof lift.

    2004 XLR - Folding Top Module - B3669

    Might be late to this post but just by chance have you checked the fluid level at the pump?
  17. RDwilkerson

    Help prevent a robbery.

    Well the cylinders are all the work; I did one and thought that would solve the fluid loss and even looked (I thought) at the other side dreading having to do both. Dread or not it was leaking also (ya mickytee should have bought yours) any way off the be rebuilt! Replacing the cylinder should...
