Thanks so much! Will try this after my shift and let you know..really appreciate your help!

In what I hope is my final issue (this time), my trunk will not completely close. I was working on the top and apparently did not complete cycle leaving the boot cover in the Up position. After re-indexing the windows, I was hopeful that the trunk issue would resolve, thus allowing the top to...

Just an update, tip on speaker removal was very helpful! The actuator was wedged underneath the window.. for some (really dumb) reason I removed the 3 screws.. After replacing it to the correct position, I made sure by lowering the passenger window to compare since that one was working...

Rayzsurfer- did you end up selling these?

Thanks so much, Gord, for responding! My XLR was recently “totaled” due to both tail lights being damaged. Everything else in working condition, and I stumbled upon a SET of working tail lights for $1100!! On OfferUp. Installed those, replaced the bumper and trunk with parts all for less than...

After searching the forum and successfully removing the door panels, I am not sure I am putting them back on correctly. The passenger window operates, but seems “loose” and driver’s side will not operate at all. I also think I left one of the SEVERAL screws I dropped down the panel in the process.🤨

Thanks for replying- If I contort my body, hold the bumper up and twist the key just right, I can get it to release. As an “aged” woman, it takes about a week for my body to recover-haha. The solution you came up with sounds ideal, would love to see any pics on how to manufacture this. It seems...

I’m not sure if this is same issue, but I was rear ended and in the process of rebuilding my “totaled” car. The mechanism that releases the trunk is pushed so far in it is super difficult to get key to turn. Should I replace that piece and is it even available?

LTS - do you know which Cadillac your friend used to replace the XLR tail lights? I'm doing a google image search, but if you know the model before I "spot" it that would be most appreciated! Or if he's interested in selling a pair I would pay in advance as I trust your knowledge in these...

I just had the exact same issue - was rear ended and after looking at damage, decided to keep it - salvaged title... just need to replace the rear trunk lid, LH rear quarter panel, and LH light (lens), the lights themselves work, may try to fabricate something like you did here - I apologize if...

I was just rear ended and due to damage to tail lights (cracked lens) along with trunk lid the insurance totaled it. I retained the car as I really feel the damage is fixable - mostly cosmetic, and have watched the videos Ian referenced on repairing the tail lights - however, my actual lights...

Ian, I was just rear ended and due to damage to tail lights (cracked lens) along with trunk lid the insurance totaled it. I retained the car as I really feel the damage is fixable - mostly cosmetic, and have watched the videos you referenced on repairing the tail lights - however, my actual...

Well, I had my car towed yesterday to the dealership as many of you suggested...and just as I feared, before even looking at it, I was told to be "prepared" as these cars are money pits and if the trunk was wet, it could be upwards of $6500. So, I fully expected today's call of another "be...

Thanks, Josua- I'll try that as well tomorrow, and unfortunately, not only am I NOT starting the car, I have absolutely NO power at all to anything. I did go out one day after seeing the rear lights flashing and the drivers's side window indexed down a few inches, and the dash said low voltage...

Thanks, Woody!! I am going to try this idea with the fuses switch out, then it's time to bite the bullet AGAIN, and have it towed back to the dealership. Frustrating that the exact same symptoms are occurring after the starter replacement, and even worse it takes the service department 2 weeks...

I have a Schumaher 6V/12V Fully Automatic Battery Maintainer on it now - ordered this after researching on the forum and this was suggested by several members. One of the posts suggests that I may need to try multiple times with the key fob in glove compartment to " reset" or recognize after a...

I still haven't figured out what in the $%^^$ is going on with mine!!:mad: I have tried at least 10 different suggestions from this forum, nothing is working. I'm currently on the THIRD NEW Red top Optima battery since this FEBRUARY!!! What sucks is that when I had this problem last time, I...

Polly, did you get any diagnosis on what is wrong with your car? I still haven't figured out what in the $%^^$ is going on with mine!!:mad: I have tried at least 10 different suggestions from this forum, nothing is working. I'm currently on the THIRD NEW Red top Optima battery since this...

Still no luck with starting /unlocking car- the emergency hazard flasher did NOT come on -had on battery tender since last Tuesday, finally a day off today to go try some things again-still not sure why there is no recognition to the key fobs :dunno: Is there a way to "Reset " the theft...

Ughhh...I just am so frustrated:dunno:!! Had the battery tender on for 2 days now, shows full power in battery, tail lights have been flashing for about 2 hours now- no response from key fobs - although after I tried to open the doors with the fobs, that is when I noticed the tail lights...
