    Trunk not operational

    My friend has an '04. His trunk will operate correctly when putting the top up or down. but not at any other time. The fob button will not operate it (has new battery), the "open trunk" button inside does not operate it. He has to lift it by hand, after getting the fob close the trunk. Then...

    Hey guys and gals... someone backed into my 2007 XLR and broke the third brake light. Yea, the one on the truck lid. Does anyone know where I can get one?? The trunk got tweaked slightly, but it does still close... with a liitle help. I'm pretty sure I can tweak it (or adjust it) back into...

    HOSE LEAK

    Hi Sophia: The lines do run on the passenger side. There are two separate lines. The tech manual shows 12 pages of descriptive text and pictures to replace the lines, hence the reason I decided to let the dealer in Colorado do the work.

    Finally got my XLR, Now to Rebuild it!

    Yes, it was a labor of love, had it on the road in just 3 months. Bought it for $24,250, and about $12,000 in new parts (nothing available in salvage yards for these in '08). Another $3000 in frame work and still more in miscellaneous things brought the total I have in it at around $40,000...

    Screams Cadillac to me!! If you look at the emblem in the front grille, it's Cadillac. The taillights scream Cadillac to me as well as well as the Cadillac emblem in the rear. Besides, the license plate area says "Cadillac".

    Finally got my XLR, Now to Rebuild it!

    Brings back memories Boy, your rebuild really brought back memories. I did my 2007 in 2008... took only 3 months to accomplish. Mine was FAR worse than yours though. You can see pictures in my garage. Mine was hit HARD in the right front. Frame shop had to pull the left frame section (had...

    New member here Bruce, I just bought an 04 xlr, looking for info on headlights servicing

    I imagine yours looks cracked and crazed? As mentioned above, this lens is not replaceable. Your only recourse is to change out the entire headlamp for an '06 or newer, also mentioned above. In '06, GM changed the makeup of the plastic used for the center lens and no longer had the problem...

    You can go to any O'Reilly's Auto Part and they will pull the codes for you for free. I do this when my check engine light comes on. A lot of times it's on because of a loose gas cap...

    Battery keeps running down

    XLR's are well known for their battery drain problems. Most, if not ALL, of us have a battery tender that we put on the battery when we are not going to drive them for a few days. I believe that even when the car has shut down after 20 minutes or so, there are still several computers alive and...
