It was my car. It ended up selling for $15k. I told the buyer that it’s the best car you could ever get for that price. I was sad to see it go.

Yes. The washer did it for me. Try the light oil first. If it doesn’t work then go the washer route.

WD-40 isn’t much of a lube. It’s meant to displace water. I would try a light sewing machine oil first and / or adding a spacer. The problem with oils is diet and dust like to stock to them compounding your problem.

I’m just hijacking your thread with my car!! Sorry.

I’m pretty sure it is. 1G6YV34A355603398.

2005 Black XLR for sale. 69,600 miles $16k I am selling my 2005 XLR which has 69,600 miles. This is a two-owner car with black exterior and beige interior. The car has been very well maintained no accidents. There are some surface scratches which I will show in attached photos (Dropbox link)...

Thanks. The insurance company wouldn't buy off on a total respray, but did suggest I find a shop specializing in color / fade matching. I am starting that search in my area to see what may be available. Triple black would be nice as I am not a huge fan of the Raven black, but unfortunately...

Some %^&**^^ keyed my xlr today. I have contacted my insurance and they (of course) suggested a few body shops. The scratch covers the rear quarter panel, door, and front fender. I was curious if there is anything special I should know being that the body materials are both fiberglass and...

Where can the headers for the base XLR be found? Can the 2005 be tuned? I thought that I had read in other posts that it couldn't.

I finally got around to fixing this issue and have to thank ald42 for the excellent advice. This was a fairly straight forward fix that, with the proper instruction (thanks again). I removed the drivers side rear wheel, and then the inner fender wall. Next I removed the nut for the gas door...

I would paint it to whatever color / design you would like. I've been wrestling with the idea of painting mine matte black. Any more car dings and I think I will pull the trigger.

Thank you so much for the offer. I will hopefully be working on this either this upcoming weekend or the next. I will send you a PM. Thanks again

Thank you. I will give it a shot. Am I reading correctly that I am to leave the cable connected but remove the solenoid? Thanks again.

The solenoid to my gas cap door has failed. The finger will retract, but it wont pop back out which prevents the door from being secured. Has anyone else attempted this repair themselves? From the info I could obtain it seems like this solenoid is pretty difficult to get to.

They have changed some. The Brougham had 5 more horsepower than the XLR!!!

It won't be long before hard drives are standard within stereo systems. There are already many people who are removing their standard stereo and replacing them with tablet PC's. I think that storage of songs and movies on hard drive coupled with having usb ports for thumbdrives, or a compact...

I probably miswrote my statement. The regional Cadillac warrant manager was very helpful by approving the fix even though I was over my warranty period by a few weeks (still under miles). What made me suspicious is how the dealer found more items that were, "needing repair" once they learned...

I had the very same thing happen to my 2005, but with the exception that mine started leaking again. I took it to the dealer and they said the water pump was leaking. The car was just out of date for the warranty, but under on miles so the regional rep approved the fix under warranty. The...

This is the logo design that my wife picked out for me from Lloyds. They are going to be shampoo'd once the weather gets a bit nicer. :(:(
