For what it’s worth, recently ran across opgi.com now carries XLR parts. Skimmed through it & seemed to be a rather random collection of parts & not any bargains. But, it’s at least another source to try.

Can’t say enough of the benefits of replacing the trunk struts. Mine gave no signs of failure but we decided to replace them since they’re a dozen years old. I got the car when it was 4 years old and the trunk has always slammed down whenever it closes, & left scrub marks on top of the bumper...

Uggh, you’re right. I used that on the plastic around the seat position buttons to get off shoe scuffs on our base XLR with a cashmere interior. It worked great! So I gleefully used it on the same area in the V with a black interior. Made a mess that I then had to spend a bunch of time...

Try getting some of the sprays sold to get scuffs off of leather shoes. That may do the trick without damaging the leather. Just try it on an inconspicuous place first.

MrSunshine, really like what you’ve done with the blue “accents,” looks great! :thumbsup Like those wheels too.

CC, good to see you back. I’ve often said if I could create a downloaded collection of your info posts, I’d be miles ahead in addressing most XLR problems. Always appreciative of the time you take to work through laying things out step by step for others.

We do it ourselves, use the 2 piece Race Ramps. They aren’t cheap but you’re not going to be able to just buy ramps at the auto store & have them work for a low car like the XLR.

I call shenanigans on the dealer being “unaware” - willful blindness is more like it. When I mentioned this stuff to my dealer a while back, they said they were aware of that issue & that they check our XLR’s out for it when we bring them in. Unfortunately, corporate knowledge depends on who...

We just took the covers off the storage bin on the right side, and off where the hydraulics are on the left, which gave visible access to the bottom of the struts.

I see the article says GM is “looking into it” - sure hope they move past just looking!

CUE (Crappy Useless Emptiness) is a dog, although from the mounds of car magazines at our house with reviews of new cars, all manufacturers are struggling with that stuff to some extent. Most dealers with warranty work (in my experience) are just going to replace things completely instead of...

Now that is BAD A$$! ???

I sure don’t have the knowledge to do any technical critique but WOW! That’s impressive!

Or 4 - Don’t have the OEM radio in the car anymore! In all seriousness, I don’t remember seeing the wreath & crest unless the radio was off. Maybe you’re thinking of threads on the Kenwood you can put in? Some people put the wreath & crest as a wallpaper on those.

We have a good sized international auto show for new cars in mid January every year. I haven’t been in a while, but last I went Cadillac had a display and once I even ended up buying a STS that was in the show. I checked out info online on this year’s show because my son is interested in...

Here’s a thread with info on my install & that of others for the Kenwood: Kenwood DNX893S in the XLR My husband installed it using info on this forum. It did take some soldiering of various wires on the Kenwood, which I can’t explain because I was just an observer. If you have ever done...

Looks good from here! Are those wheels black chrome? Looks sharp with the silver.

We’ve had luck with GMpartsdirect.com getting back to us with a successful search for the part. Since they had luck with one part we asked for tail lights and they emailed us that “after a galactic search there are none in the universe.” :laugh:Which we knew was accurate. Maybe give them a...

Hopefully this will work, try scrolling through this search (I have no specific advice or info because we just replaced the entire unit): Ipod site:www.xlr-net.com - Google Search

I would hope the difference for us would be that there is no “maintenance schedule” to keep the roof from blowing off. For the Bosch III brakes, GM could get away with saying it’s the owner’s fault for not following the maintenance requirements. The roof issue definitely seems to be a...
