    Tiny dents in the aluminum console bezel

    Place it face down on a very clean solid surface and lightly tap the plastic beneath the place the dents are at. Doesn't seem that hard.. It's not that strong aluminum.

    XLR get together this year !!!!

    LOL, a good thing to tell people before they make plans to visit the state. I was driving through one of those Virginia's on the way to North Carolina and read a story on a blog about a guy doing weekends in jail for that. I'm pretty sure I was going that fast at least once or twice. LOL. And I...

    how to change tail light bulbs 2005 xlr

    With the mix of LED tail lights and incandescent bulbs in the XLR turn signal circuit, any one of them having a problem trips the ECU into fast flashing, which is required by law on vehicles sold in the US to notify the driver a bulb is out. It's been the law for quite some time.

    "Service Ride Control" and top not working

    Doesn't hurt to try. Just be calm and go up the ladder of bosses. Short of that, take it to an independent shop that is good at electric wiring work. They would be cheaper, it's going to take time you'll have to dig up used parts from who knows where. Won't be fun. Also search on the site for...

    Help! CD's Stuck in DVD player

    The DVD slot is behind the display. The CD slot is the one in the center console below the stereo. Regardless, if "eject" isn't working, find the 2 fuses for the stereo and remove them both for 10 minutes, then put them back in and see if that helps.

    how to change tail light bulbs 2005 xlr

    Hmm, do the tail lights blink fast when a regular incandescent is burned out on that side of the car too? My fear would be he took this apart when the problem was a regular bulb burned out triggering the fast flash from the ecu?

    Help! Folding top works OK but the Deck Lid will not open alone. It unlatches but the Hydraulic pump doesn't turn on.

    Do you have a favorite Chevy deal? Find the relearn steps on here, print it out, take it to your Chevy dealer, have them do it. They should have a Tech II and can do it.

    Front end bug protector

    After 3 driving trips from Michigan to Wyoming and South Dakota I carry a lot of change for the manual car wash, get a couple bottles of the spray on bug off, and always plan on washing the car last thing before hitting the hotel at night. End up washing the care every day, but it's OK, it...

    Help! Catalytic converter replacement

    Be careful, Magnaflow will try to sell you the wrong right manifold/cat. If you get one that fits come back and tell us what model fits your 2005. after trying 2 different ones they told me that they don't sell one that fits my 2004. The head changed in 2006, so they take a different manifold...

    Help! CD's won't eject 08 XLR

    Just as an aside, it's always a good idea to pull the radio and CD fuse before taking them apart for stuck stuff or loading/ejecting problems. Mine wouldn't eject CDs, pulled both fuses for a while, would eject after the fuses replaced.

    I would like to ask what you're trying to do here on XLR-NET Rob? Because this is the second guy that blew in here, tried to sell something, then blew out that you think we "drove away" that I can remember. I've been on bulletin boards, web forums and even usenet. I've seen these sorts of...

    CUSTOM WHEEL GALLERY: XLR/XLRV

    I really dislike rims that extend beyond the lip of the wheel arch. And tires whos sidewalls angle back from the rim to the tread. Looks way to much like the start of a kid trying to stance his car. Ugh.

    Help! Engine running rough after it was spray washed.

    Did you use the high pressure washer? Poke around, follow the smallish rubber hoses and see if one came unplugged from the pressure wash.
