I didn't think the day would come, but I need to sell my XLR. She is a 2008 with 16.8k miles. I have installed 2009 XLR NOS wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport, less than 300 miles and I have the originals as well. Both are perfect with no curb rash. Included is a Corsa system, not installed...

I really don't drive my XLR very much, but recently there has been a "chalky" film on some the the interior leather. Now I keep the car in a dehumidified and keep the air circulating in the garage. In the trunk and interior I keep descant bags. I'm at a loss about this stuff. When I first...

I was able to find a "previously loved" Corsa system for an amazing price. Once delivered it is almost new I was very fortunate. My question is, what are the part numbers for the bolts attaching the resonator to the catalytic converter and the "gasket" at the same connection? I have looked...

Before I actually need a Tech 2 I plan to purchase one, however there seems to be quite a number on the open market. Could someone give me direction for a past experience, good or bad? Is there a correct part number or is it an order by specific car and what extras are needed for complete...

When I was taking the car cover out of the trunk I noticed what looks like tar hanging from the bumper assembly. This is my 5th year with the car and this is a first. Has anyone experienced this, is it matter of concern or jest one of those things that needs to be cleaned off? This is...

I have a 2008 XLR that needs to have the front fascia slightly adjusted. Not having seen any discussion in our forum on the front bumper fascia, I need to adjust mine. In reviewing the shop manual I didn't find a specific section on removing or adjusting the fascia. Would there be anyone with...

You never know how rare an XLR is until want the change wheels! If anyone has four wheels in "great" shape I'm looking. GM OEM Part Number 9595793

I wanted to understand how much of a difference the utilization of Dynapad can made for our XLR's. I think the car is relatively quite and I would like an XLR member who has preformed this task reaction. I'm thinking of the Dynapad, as it is not adhesive backed would be so much easier to...

After reviewing the GM Cadillac XLR repair manual the only difference between 2006 & 2008 exhaust system is intermediate pipe hanger PN# 1579005 (2006) and PN# 15784473 / 4 for the (2008). So the CORSA 14156 will fit all XLR's from 2004-08. Am I missing anything else? This is an upgrade I'll...

I'm in need of guidance on troubleshooting the seat heat / cooling system. My understanding is the only moving part is the fan so this should be easy.

The original battery failed very quickly, even with a battery tender installed. I was putting the top up when the battery failed with the panel behind the seats having opened, then I got Low Voltage warning. Are there any special considerations when installing a new battery?

Looks like I've reached the recommended coolant drain/replace point (5 years). I've done this sort of thing before on numerous other cars. But before I drag the big ramps, I'll ask if there is anything XLR-specific I might want to know. In particular, will there be any issues getting to or...

I'm planning spring maintenances starting with the transaxle. Without the complete manual can someone enlighten me on the procedure to drain and replace the fluid? I have the capability of figuring the procedure out myself but this forum is a wealth of information and plan to utilize best...

I’m considering replacing the “Daytime Running Lights” withdual color LED & the “Fog Lamps” with HID has anyone experienced thisretrofit also what are the potential problems and advice. Making the entire front lighting system consistent,I think, will enhance the appearance.

On my 2008 X I don't recall a connector for an iPod, so how have others accomplished this electrical feat? I'm not totally sold on Sirus or keeping a stack of CD's

I’m planning on spending a week going over my X and I’m looking for advice or guidance on cleaning & preserving the underside of this fantastic automobile. My X is a 2008 with 14,000 miles that I think was driven by a smaller person, from the automatic seats, and was not driven in the rain as...
