Hi All, After 6 years of owning my gorgeous 2005 XLR, I'm a bit sad to say that it has now moved onto a new home. One of my friends works for GM, and I was able to purchase a 2015 Corvette Stingray convertible with the employee pricing- it was an offer to good to refuse. I listed my car on...

Hi all, When pulling out of my garage in reverse, I come to a complete stop, put it in drive, and now the car is revving a bit before it moves forward. Today it seemed much worse than it has the last few days- it revved for 2 seconds (like the car was in neutral) and didn't move forward, I put...

Hi all, I'm feeling something sharp right under my left thigh. I tried to move it around----feels like maybe part of the heated seat components? I'm afraid it's going to break through the perforated later. Is there an easy to remove the seat cover to inspect? I don't seem to see any hot ties or...

Hi All, I stumbled across these on Ebay, and they look pretty cool: 2X Laser LED Door Shadow Courtesy Projector Light Lamp Logo for ATS Cts | eBay 2X for Cadillac SRX XTS Laser LED Door Courtesy Step Projector Shadow Light | eBay looks like it's a simple plug and play from this video (here's...

Haven't really seen too many posts on here regarding transmission repairs- which is a good thing! Was wondering if frequently shifting it in the manual mode causes additional wear and tear. Or was the XLR built under the assumption that this feature would be used a lot by some drivers? My...

Hi all, Finally discovered an EXCELLENT shop in the San Diego area that works on Vettes and XLRs- Top Flight Corvette. :cool: 8606 Commerce Ave <address itemprop="address" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family...

Hi All, My dashboard had the message: "SERVICE RIDE CONTROL". The dealer, Marvin K Brown, informed me one of the front shocks was leaking. The ride quality seemed fine, but the rear driver side tire had only about 1/2" clearance from the wheel well, while all the others are 2 1/2". It was...

Hi everyone, The most unreliable part of my XLR is the Coastal GM Ipod Lockpick. In the 5 years I've had it, it's broken here and there at least 8 times (sometimes for a few days and sometimes for a few months)....ugh!! Have seen posts where folks are saying they have been able to burn CDs and...

Was wondering if anyone is decorating their XLR for 4th of July? Trying to figure out a way to attach flags or something like that to the rollbars and not have it flutter at highway speeds with the top down. Any ideas or photos? Thanks, -Mark

Hi All, Has GM ever released suggested shift points for the 5 speed automatic XLR? For example, at what speed is it ok to downshift into 2nd gear, into 1st gear, etc? The reason why I'm asking is I recently test drove another car, and the salesperson told me NEVER to downshift into 1st gear if...

Hi All, My check engine light came on due to a loose gas cap. Is there a way to reset it, or do I have to wait a few days/weeks for it to just clear on its own? Thanks, Mark

Hi All, I have Lloyd Floor Mats in my 2005 XLR. The passenger floor mat only has 1 fastener to hold it in place....and that it just not enough. (wish it had 2 fasteners like the driver side mat) The mat is constantly moving out of place/bunching up as passengers get in and out. Is there a...

Hi All, I'm not sure about you, but whenever I park in a garage- I always look for the spot with the highest ceiling level. Because of the unique way our top retracts (unlike the typical clam-shell), I'm often concerned that there's not enough vertical clearance to open the trunk lid to...

Hi All, Strangest thing happened today- opened the hood to my car, and the hood kept coming down. Had to use a board to prop it up. Is it possible that both ofthe hood lift cylinders (gas struts) failed at the same time? I could understand maybe one not working, but both seems sorta odd. :mad...

<tbody> Hi All, My check engine light came on, and I used a diagnostic tool to determine the codes triggering it are: P0171 and P0174 (see below). If I clean the mass air flow sensor, will this help clear the codes? Or do I really have to bring it in to the Cadillac dealership to have them...

Hi All, Despite the Bulgari trim piece, the 2004-2008 gauge cluster looks rather cheap and dated. I've had people get into my car and say "Wow- same gauges from a Chevy Cavalier!" :mad: And sadly enough, I can see why they'd say that- the color of the gauge cluster lights are a dim, old looking...

Hi All- I've thought about buying a C6 Z06 Full Dual Mode Exhaust that is posted locally here in San Diego. C6 Z06 Full Dual Mode Exhaust Does this bolt-on directly? Has anyone heard this exhaust on the XLR? Since only the XLR-V is set-up for the dual mode exhaust, would this function work on...

Hi all, thinking of upgrading my stock XLR mufflers to the XLR-V for a deeper sound. Does anyone have a spare set sitting around collecting dust that they'd like to sell? Thanks, Mark markhendricksSD@yahoo.com

Hi All, I've been tempted to get the Corsa exhaust based on all the rave reviews on the XLR-Net forum boards, but not sure I'm willing to fork over the $ for it. Was looking for some cheaper alternatives and stumbled across this exhaust made by SLP...

Hi All, I'm finally going to remove my XM radio wart to have it painted. Does anyone happen to know what size socket I need to remove the bolt? Thanks, Mark
