You're right Chad; there are powder coaters everywhere, but Mike has XLR calipers and brackets in stock ready to coat the color you want and send them to you to swap out for your existing calipers. The only 'down time' is when you are swapping them out. you then send your back to him and he...

UPDATE!! DaveH, Here is the link to Mike's website: http://powdermike.com/ However it seems he is closed, as he's moving from the Atlanta area to Washington state, so it may be awhile before he can get to you. I did forget to mention he has the brackets as well and most do them in a...

Powder coated calipers DaveH, Cadillac Tech isn't on here much anymore, so I'll try and help you on this. You need to look online for mikethepowdercoater. He has done the work for Cadillac Tech in years past. He also has XLR calipers in stock and will paint them however you want them, ship...

Fireduck is correct on all accounts. On '06 and,up models, the Sirius/XM antenna is in the passenger side rear view mirror. The AM and FM antennas are under the rear deck lid. Microphone is in the drivers A pillar. Black box on windshield is GPS and OnStar antennas.

Unfortunately..... Unfortunately there isn't a way I know of to get to the back seat bolts without power to the seats. I've had my seat out twice and always move the seats forward to remove the rear nuts, before raising the seat all the way up and then backward to remove the front nuts and then...

It is a known problem on '04-'05 models and the remedy is having the radiator replaced; which they now use the heavier duty V model radiator as the replacement. the '04-'05's unit leak at the tank on the drivers side.

Mary Kay XLR's The Mary Kay cars were all leases and the contract with Cadillac stated at the end of the lease the cars had to be returned and sent to be repainted back to the original color. From what I understand, the cost to repaint was Mary Kay's responsibility, but after the demise of the...

There was talk back in 2008 or 2009 before production ceased that you could get an XLR painted in a special color,but is was not done at the Bowling Green plant. It was sent to Detroit, don't know where, and it was disassembled and repainted. They did the same for the Mary Kay XLR's that were...

May have to have a relearn done on your top if it is not storing properly. Dealer should be able to do it or if you have a tech II, you can do it.

Close, but they are not the exact same part. Look it up, different part numbers. Door part #22751230. Trunk part #20785843.

Asked and answered Steve, This was answered is the other thread you started three days ago. https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-general-discussion/10130-brake-fliuid.html

The nav disc goes in the slot behind the screen, not the CD slot. The noise you heard was the CD player trying to read the nav disc--which it can't. Put the nav disc where it belongs and the noise will stop.

If your car has the factory fluid in it, it is Dot 3.

Dot3, dot4 and dot5.1 are all glycol based and can be mixed. DO NOT USE DOT5 in an ABS brake system!! Dot 5 is silicone based, and mostly used in older vintage cars that sit for long periods. Dot 5 doesn't absorb water from the air like glycol based brake fluids do. As far as oil, your XLR left...

Sal, There weren't different colors of shale for the XLR. There was Shale, Ebony and Cashmere. SMC Performance bought out the inventory at the Bowling Green plant when the XLR's were discontinued, so I'm pretty sure the sunvisor he has in stock will work for you. He's a great guy to deal with...

Yes this is relatively easy to replace; two screws and disconnect the plug-in. You can find the part numbers online at gmpartsdirect.com They are actually pretty cheap.

The Navigation/DVD slot will only accept one disc. Once there is one in there; whether it's a CD or DVD; it will not accept another one. Perhaps you are talking about the CD player, which will accept 6. There is an eject button to get them out. There are some who have had problems getting discs...
