1. I had Trickle Charger/Battery problems last Winter. This Spring the trunk would unlatch when I opened the Drivers Door! Then the trunk started opening and closing with no key or person nearby. I determined the Battery was dead and installed a new Premium one. Problem continued. In...

I think you are in the right Range to sell it, but wise to keep it I believe. Cruise-ins Burlington Mall Monday, Milton Sunday. West Lorne this Sunday. That place North of Trafalgar might be a good place to sell it too.

I looked at your site and did not see any of the type used on 08 XLRs They are more Teepee shaped, pointing upwards.

If you can find a company that Rubber lines Storage tanks and vessels, they could make you a couple. Ask for Hard Rubber. You could also carve one out of a Hockey Puck.

My Trunk kept opening at random times then closing. It would also open when I opened the Drivers door! New GM struts may fix yours but I finally just disconnected the battery for 2 weeks. Then hooked it back up. That solved the Trunk and other problems

Mine is an aftermarket by E&G Classics. It was on the vehicle when I bought it in 2013. There is Stainless Steel mesh that you could make one out of if you know someone who Tig Welds.

I use an old choke cable mounted to the lower fascia by left front wheel to quickly open the hood. Be sure to push it back in after it releases. I also ran a 10# wire from the power side of the fuse block underhood at battery to an existing small hole on lower fascia on Right side front. End...

Well after much thought and installing a new battery, after 2 trickle chargers failed, I finally just disconnected the new Battery for a couple weeks. After reconnecting, the trunk lid appeared to behave. I took it out of the garage with fingers crossed, and tried the Top. Every thing worked...

For no apparent reason my Trunk lid opens while it is in Winter Storage. It even happens when vehicle is locked. It will repeatedly open then close. Shorted wiring somewhere? It also sometimes opens when the drivers door is opened. Any guidance would be appreciated, Gord Baker

Subsequent to getting a cleaning rag caught under the left front corner of the XLR Trunk lid. Now when I open the drivers door, the Trunk lid goes up. Obviously a wiring or module problem. Anyone have a similar situation or fix? It is a 2008. Thank You. This place has changed completely...

Yesterday while working at the Bench, both fobs in another area in a metal cup the top went Up and then cycled back down on its' own! Aliens. I encourage anyone with top problems to watch the excellent series by Top Hydraulics inc. Here is an excellent one on manual lowering.

Good advice. I bought spare trunk bumpers.

I hope it is that simple. My 08 XLR does it 'sometimes' with Passenger Door. Drivers door is OK so far. Very annoying.

I managed to pinch some car cover in between roof and back of trunk lid when closing the Trunk Since then, sometimes when I open the Drivers Door the Trunk lid begins to raise. Some relay somewhere is causing a 5.6 Amp battery drain with all systems Off and doors locked. Any clues? 2008 XLR.

Great photos Fred and I wish you well on health issues. Mine is a 2008 as well, 34k miles. I was shocked at the sticker price. My US import was $82,500. Base model. It has Z-06 wheels, drilled and slotted rotors, Corsa exhaust, rear anit-sway bar, V hood and grille. Custom painted engine...

I know that! This was posted for those that don't. Thanks

I guess he does not have a spare key. Cheap insurance.

Being a recent victim of crap GM Delco Batteries - Denali and XLR, I purchased an old Choke cable at a Swap Meet. It took a bit of 'rigging' but I was able to attach a short (2") loop of wire to the release lever at the hood latch where the factory cable ends and run the cable down in front of...
