    Re: XLR shift knob trim ring

    I removed the old shift knob and installed the new one with no problems. I am having a problem snapping the lower trim ring back in place. The ring has a keyway that appears to face aft. I doesn't appear that there are any broken pieces on the knob or the trim ring. Any tips?

    2007 XLR problem opening door

    Could be. The button actuates the lowering of the window that precedes the opening of the door 100 percent of the time which makes me think the button is ok.

    2007 XLR problem opening door

    I am unable to open the driver door from the inside. This happens about 80% of the time. When I press the button to open the door the window lowers but I have to use the manual lever on the floor. It happens whether the car is running or not. No problems with the passenger door. Any ideas? Thanks

    Touch screen tilting for no reason

    Occasionally my touch screen will tilt out for no reason. It will beep twice every ten seconds and will eventually retract. I'm sure there is a way to retract it but I can't find anything about it in the owner's manual. What's causing it and how do I prevent it? Sent from my SM-G930V using...

    I got good news on my balky top retraction problem

    History: I took my '07 to the local dealer to address my balky top (would only go up and down with manual assistance). They replaced the latch mechanism ($650) which did absolutely no good ("that's what the Tech II said to do"). They then recommended replacement of the hydraulic system ($3500)...

    Checking/adding hydraulic fluid to top retraction system?

    My top retraction system on my '07 needs a little manual assistance when opening or closing. Is it possible to check and add hydraulic fluid to the system? If so, how do I do it? Do i use regular hydraulic fluid? Photos and/or videos would be helpful. Thanks for your help.

    Help! Top lowering mechanism

    How to check/add to hydraulic fluid for power top? I see no reference to adding hydraulic fluid in the owner's manual. How do you do it? Where is the reservoir? Do you use standard hydraulic fluid?

    I'm a proud new XLR owner!

    Greetings. I took possession of my ebony/cashmere 2007 XLR on Saturday. I'm having a blast. What a head-turner! The first question asked is "what kind of car is THAT?" When I inspected it the previous week I noticed that the left front wheel had what appeared to be epoxy splattered on it. The...
