    2007 XLR base Model - the CD player recently quit working with 4 discs inserted, no noise or anything - would just give the CD ERROR message when I pressed the CD button to play.

    Help! torsion bar replacement

    Thanks for the note...good points. I asked the mechanic (he has a good reputation for his knowledge) about the bars and he said they (one in front and one in rear) are made of fiberglass and generally do not break or wear, but over time they begin to sag. He said there is a little adjustment...

    Help! torsion bar replacement

    I recently had my 2007 XLR serviced and was told the front torsion bar (made out of fiberglass) is beginning to sag, and needs replacement. They said the rear torsion bar is A-OK. The front of the car does sit very low and I have to be careful when pulling up to curb stops. I have serached...

    Weak radio signal

    When I start my 2007 XLR with the radio on, I notice the signal is weak. I can turn off the radio and turn it back on, and the signal is normal. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

    Help! interior color names

    Thanks CC. OK...so if I'm understanding you...burl is the color description of the upper trim piece, and not ebony? The picture does look like my trim color, but the ebony code on the part number is confusing. I think I will order the part, and hope for the best. The door trim pieces are...

    Help! interior color names

    This should be easily obtained info, but I keep getting conflicting input from various sources, including GM. I have a 2007 XLR Platinum Series with a Liquid Amethyst exterior and a Cashmere interior...those color codes I know and trust. I need to replace some interior trim (above the doors...

    Repair Manuals availability

    I posted a similar request at the end of another thread, then realized I probably should create a new thread. I am interested in obtaining the repair manual(s) for my 2007 XLR. I have searched online and can only find the original GM manuals at very steep prices, several hundred dollars...

    Help! rain damage to leather trim

    repair manuals? While unfortunate to have the damage, I am fortunate the replacement parts are still available. My next challenge is learning how to remove and replace them. Does anyone have a reference for manuals to help with that? I have seen some downloadable PDF manuals online, but it...
