My wife and I have had two previous XLRs and just recently my wife retired so we found a local 06 -V one owner 17xxx looks amazing so original tires had to go ,, next stop the gentleman scratched the lower front bumper parking most likely not a big deal but let’s do it right, and after that most likely put a clear bra on the front clip .
I am concerned since we purchased the other day went to put the top down a lot of growning and moving slow and said oh boy !! So put it back in place ,next which way do I go in the St. Louis area last stop I guess Dealership !!
Any suggestions in this area or not to far to diagnose what’s going on asking for the professionals on here to help Many Thanks Everyone

Did you check the fluid? That low of miles id assume not driven often. Id start with trunk struts. Does the trunk open ok by itself? Once up if you pull it down a little , will it stay. How far did you get with the top before you stopped.
