I appreciate your input Mickey, but like I said, squeaky wheel gets the grease, and it's who you know. I know you weren't around when it happened, but they did have the third tail light made in China just a few years ago. It's obvious if they want to make new headlights, they can farm it out to...

It only takes one person high enough up to decide they want Cadillac to be better. It's always about who you know.. Someone decided to spend tens of millions of dollars on the ELR, even though they knew sales would be low. Never say never.. Unless you work for GM I really don't think you know...

"General Motors dealers want drivers of old GM models to return to the dealership for service, and GM is actively seeking their business. "We see that as a huge opportunity for us and our dealers," said Scott Lawson, General Motors' director for customer care and aftersales. He said that GM is...

It's the same transmission and diff as the corvette. If you have technical questions about the corvette parts, there are much better resources than here for those items. I've learned a lot by reading corvette forums, from brakes to most of the chassis.

Try pulling the fuses to the entertainment system. Mine got "confused" once, and that fixed it. Haven't had a problem since.

If they retain the Bose amp, make sure they set it to whatever setting you like most in the DSP settings. Might be best to turn it off. And have them set all the tone controls to center.

I wonder how that works as a tax deduction? LOL

I have seen a lot of XLRs in Metro Detroit this year, from last weekend's Telegraph cruise to Baker's car show in Milford a couple weekends ago to just driving around. Maybe collectors are finally driving them? LOL

The XM radio module is behind the storage area in between the seats, that is probably were they wires are run from there to the front.

I owned a jeep type vehicle in the past with a soft top, loved it. Didn't love when someone broke in it and stole my stereo. Many years later I decided I wanted a convertable, one with a hard top. So I started doing research on the "best" used ones. Went to forums looking for the kinks in the...

Can you reverse it? If it stops before the trunk goes up I'd guess it doesn't know the last panel before that has gone all the way up. I'd look for a switch that tells it that.

Happens sometimes. I just shut the car off, open the door, close the door, start the car up again. Usually fixes it.

Did the top ever work? Does the pump even come on when you hit the roof switch? Has the dealership opperated the top manually? Have they re-indexed the windows? Have they done a top re-learn? Basicly, when they try to do a re-learn the top will go up and down, even if there is a bad...

Run a couple tank fulls of fuel system cleaner in the gas. You have to get down to almost empty before you put it in, since it has dual tanks. I like Techron. I would also make sure to put ethanol free gas in the car. I wouldn't want that sitting in my tank or gas lines for extended periods of...

Not surprising this is happening. I'm guessing they use the same dash material under the leather that produces the white chalky substance on earlier XLRs. Probably makes the glue come undone over time.

The Window buttons, both the driver's and passenger's. The top won't work if it doesn't know were the windows are (open, closed). It's a simple thing to try, and seems to fix problems about 1/3rd of the time.

You are correct. The emergency procedure is for problems such as a broken motor, and blown fuse, a broken switch, or a broken sensor. If you have something bent or broken off, this procedure won't help much. BUT, the manual doesn't really explain why you are doing some of these steps, which...

Need more descriptive information. Does it not move at all? Does the motor run but it doesn't move? Does it go up a little then no more? Half up then stops?
