are you still stock with the magnetic shocks ?

yes, mine creeps up quickly once its warmed up, normal temp hovers about 2/3 of the way up to the 220, but within a few minutes in traffic or at a long light, it will move closer to 220. never saw it completely up to the 220 line, but it gets close. you could turn on the heat on high, NO AC, if...

ya, magic eraser definitely works, i did it, then went around whole interior!! be careful on the soft vinyl parts and leather, hard plastic is fine to scrub away. remember the eraser is like very fine sand paper, it is removing stains, but also a little of the surface.

thx CC local corvette shop was able to play with it and get the adaptive lens centered and leveled without removing it from the car. also found something loose in that part of the assembly so tightened it up. it doesnt move, but its aimed correctly now. if i ever need to remove it to replace a...

great info, but i will mention two things about the spring pads grand daddy listed at the end of his post. A. they are not integral to changing the shocks themselves, but might as well do them while you have everything opened up. B. the pads he listed are lowering pads, many have used them, but...

nope, only drivers side sweeps. passenger never moves at all. also no warnings on the dash about malfunction. i have read that "SERVICE AFS" can pop up for service the Adaptive Forward lighting System. but never have seen it. since these headlights cost a fortune, before i take it out and play...

hi all, i've had this problem for a while now, havent seen another post like it so i figured i would ask. my 07 has the adaptive headlights, drivers side moves left and right, like its supposed to. but the passenger side doesnt move. its just stuck in one position. unfortunately its aimed too...

i take mine thru on occasion. the rubber skirt under the front bumper gets bent back by the rail that guides the wheel, but nothing else is touching. i prefer to detail the car myself, and do that a few times a a year. but sometimes there just isnt time, so local car wash for a quickie is viable...

i like this one from costco. arcan 3.0 ton. 99 dollars. and costco warranty !

wow , i never noticed that! i'll have to check mine next time i drive at night. even more wow... you got a picture of it! did you try turning off the auto dim function ? maybe it will go away then.

glad you got the battery figured out. you might want to get a trickle charger/ battery maintainer so your new battery doesnt wear out too fast. these cars tend to kill batteries if they arent driven every day.

i kinda liked the oem acdelco rotors. they come with a specialized finish, that really inhibits the rust. i am liking it better than the zinc coated ones i have on other cars. all the slots and holes do is provide more places to rust! and cut the pads faster. the oems are so cheap i got over the...

why not park it out in direct sunlight for a few days to see if it disappears on its own. also a good cleaner wax rather than mechanical polish may remove whatever stain penetrated. before a detailer buffs off a layer of paint, see if it can be removed more gently. might even disappear from the...

are you trying to perform trunk open with car running? always operate trunk or top open/close with car running. trunk isnt mandatory, but top operation is... top hydraulics are very hard on the battery. also the battery in the xlr is known to get weak due to constant electronic drains. have you...

might want to check your coolant temp gauge as well. is it still getting up to good temp within 10 min or so. i noticed this winter my coolant temp was running low, and taking alot longer to warm up. this points to a failed Tstat, not uncommon on our cars. they fail open. so it takes forever for...

multiple people have confirmed that when disconnecting the battery the car will not recognize the remote key for 10-20 minutes. heres what i did when i had to change my battery... when i replaced my dead battery it took me 1/2 hour to get the car to recognize any key fob again. so dont panic...

congrats on the xlr!! if you look around the forum , there are people who have repaired the hinges. can contact mickeytee i think i recall he was able to do it. https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-general-discussion/10010-damaged-cup-holder-cover-repair.html?highlight=hinges

can you just pop that a pillar trim off by hand ? door open start at the top? or some pry tools needed? chubby...hehehe got me smiling here at work at 630am:)

while we are on this topic, 'doe anyone else notic that the cove panel that goes on top of the compartment doesnt lay flush? it kind of is bumped up a bit by the reservoir ? mine is that way. and in the pics in this thread it looks to be the same ? minor flaw, but annoying

yes enlarge hole. can add an extra hole while you are under there, i did other corner. can also add 2 holes to passenger side compartment. do it from underneath with a drill.
