    Tech II - What To Buy?

    The more I search, the more confusion I have. As it's near the end of 2022, I am wondering if anything has changed regarding the state of aftermarket diagnostic tools and their ability to access, read and alter settings in all/most of the various modules. Most everything I see connects via...

    Tonneau Cover Links Needed

    I think that's the best description. When you raise or lower the top, one of the cylinders pops the panel up, the one directly behind the roll-over hoops that Top Hydraulics calls the tonneau cover. My top got out of synch somehow (it's fixed now) and the links that connect that panel to the...

    New Inside Rear View Mirror/Dims Itself and Side Mirror

    So, I sprung for a new inside rear view mirror since the one that came with the car was broken and couldn't be adjusted. Genuine GM part through Rock Auto. Installed it and started the car and instantly, every time now, the left hand outside and inside center mirrors dim. Lights on/off, doesn't...

    Transmission Fluid and Filter Change

    I have a touch over 91,000 miles on my '04 and I'm willing to bet the transmission fluid and filter are stock. Disregarding talk of 'permanent' fluid and the lack of info (I searched this forum), I'd like to change it out. From my basic understanding, there's no real easy way to fill the...

    Footwell and Mirror Lights Stay On - 2004

    Without having made any changes to the lighting system in months, lately my footwell lights and the under-mirror lights have decided to stay on at all times (until retained accessory power/r.a.p. shuts them off), whether I'm driving or parked. Pretty annoying at night. Has anyone else seen this...

    Installed Volant "Cool Air" Intake - 2004 XLR

    Not sure why, but the Volant cross reference for our cars excludes the 2004 model year. Rest assured, it fits. I installed mine last night and everything fits and functions as advertised. First take-away: Get on the gas and the thing is loud, in a very good way. I can't say for sure what it's...

    Cooling System Tee Disintegrated

    On my 04, there is a cooling system tee that joins the 1/4" line coming off the throttle body with the 3/8" line running from the top of the radiator to the surge/recovery tank. I started smelling coolant the other day and was able to trace it to a leak at this plastic tee, which is fortunately...

    Visor/Vanity Mirror Light Question

    I've seen it written here that once the light bulbs in the visor, the ones on either side of the vanity mirrors, burn out, that replacing the visor is the sole option to fix them. Is that because the bulbs cannot be removed or because the bulbs are not available? Thanks in advance, John B.

    04 XLR Interior - What's Leather/What Isn't?

    This is probably just ignorance on my part, but can someone describe what, besides the seating surfaces, is actually leather in the interior? Before I attack some unknown surface with Lexol cleaner, then preservative, I should probably find out if I'm doing it any favors. Anything that isn't...

    Center Brake Light Part Number and Availabilty Here

    Not sure if anybody needs this, but Rock Auto lists the AC Delco part for replacement of the center/"high mount" brake light, at least for my 2004. I do not know the part interchangeability. They list: AC Delco 19330404 for $141.79 (minus 5% with a discount code, plus shipping, which was $10 to...

    04 XLR Interior Rear View Mirror Tension

    For lack of a better term coming to mind, my interior rear view mirror "sags," meaning it won't hold the position I adjust it to. Is there any adjustment/tightening that can be done? I'd rather not see the space between my seats and be able to see the things in back of the car instead. Thanks...

    New Member - 04 XLR in AZ

    Thanks for the forum, everybody. I found and bought an 04, black/black (I know that's not the correct terminology for the colors, but you get the point) only 9 miles from my house. Currently sitting at just over 84K on the clock and in pretty good shape. I'm kind of a "hands-on" person with...
