Subject:Front Tonneau Linkage Covers Missing in Rear Compartment

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
Condition/Concern:
Some customers may comment that the curtain used in the rear compartment to cover the retractable roof's Front Tonneau linkage is missing. Typically this would be a returning XLR customer that has now purchased/leased a 2007 or newer model XLR. This curtain has been eliminated by engineering. This curtain was used for appearance only and had no other functional design intent.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Recommendation/Instructions:
This is normal appearance of the XLR's rear compartment. This curtain required special mounting brackets that were part of the roof's linkage to secure it in place. The curtain and mounting brackets cannot be ordered separately. Do not try to order or install these parts for any vehicle that was not originally equipped with this curtain.
