    Right front headlight assembly

    I only spent a minute checking, but car-parts.com (specializing in used parts) has a selection of head and tail lights in various conditions for prices that are a little more reasonable. $4500, besides being out to lunch, (what a greedy, "savy" seller would call "market price") is for people...

    Help! CD's won't eject 08 XLR

    Very easy to remove. Maybe a 1/4 beer job. Three, if you take your time. 1. Drop the trim ring on the shifter and use a T-15 to loosen the retaining fastener to lift off the shift knob. 2. Using plastic (never a screwdriver!) trim removal tools, gently pry up the center console trim, working...

    Help! interior color names

    As depicted in the parts list, (and the picture you provided) the waterfall and upper (burl) trim piece are furnished as a two-part, dual-color assembly (as opposed to two sub-assemblies). Unless someone parts it out, the assembly is identified by a single part number, which I provided. Each...

    Help! interior color names

    GM often uses different naming conventions in their brochures and on their websites. The parts list differs sometimes too. There are only two colors listed for the parts you need for the year of your build, ebony and burl. Ebony is black. I think you've already answered your question. CC

    top problem

    lRead your owner's manual to manually raise the top if you don't know how. Do not operate the pump, electrically. If one of your hydraulic lines has cracked or a cylinder is leaking you could have a very expensive mess to deal with. Running the pump could make it worse, and damage the pump if...

    Help! Gas Tank Leak

    Don, The leak between the tanks (mine cracked at the joint where the crossover pipe connected to one of the tanks) is well-known and documented by GM. The Service Manager didn't do you any favors. (He wasn't a direct descendent of one of the Titanic's lookouts by any chance?) Disabling...
