noisy rear view mirror. It appears the assembly is slight loose from the glass or something. I thought the noise was coming from the dash. With the wife in the passenger seat we finally figured it out it was the mirror shaking causing the noise. The manual says grasp and twist to remove. Really scared to do that, see other posts about taking to a professional. Anyone else with the same issue and a fix?

Happy Birthday
Make it the best day of the year!

I sure will... I'm in the process of dressing her up a bit. I do that over the winter when parts and accessories are a bit cheaper to buy. I can't wait to get out to some of the events. Thank you so much and I'll keep my eye to the screen...lol.

Checked you profile and see you're in IL. Must be Chicago area. I see you bought the car from Schepel in IN. My business is in Schererville. We have quite a few XLR's in IL/IN area and get together quite a bit in the spring/summer/fall. Keep an eye on the forum for posts of events.

SO TIME FOR NEW TIRES ON MY 2006 XLR I LIVE IN FLORIDA I LKE HITTING THE CURVES WHAT IS THE BEST TIRE ? THANKS

Hi Gord, Nice chatting with you, this link is where you should post your info etc.

New Member Introductions - - Cadillac XLR Forum - Cadillac XLR and Cadillac XLR-V

You could also contact the administrator Rob if you want to change your screen name,I believe he can do that for you. His link is on the bottom of the HOME page there is a 'contact us' link.

To any other members checking out his post, Gord apparently lives just a few miles from me! Two kinds of luck eh!

Just purchased a 2008 XLR. Crystal Red. Carlisle Ontario. I will miss the 1996 LT4 CE Convert but will get used to everything but the tan interior! This seems to be a difficult Forum to navigate.

Bluestar for my 2007 XLR .. ... I purchased this unit for my car on 8/4/'13 and received it on 8/9/'13 and it looked so east to install. I took it out of the package, located the on-star unit , in the trunk behind the passenger seat. I read the enclosed instructions, ( men don't usually do this ) and in less than 15 minutes total time I had HANDS FREE phone service in my car. This unit is clear both in - and - out calls. For the cost of this unit , it is a real deal. I don't know of any other hands free for XLR's , but for me this is it. Just wanted to share this with others. Enjoy hands free in your car and the safe driving it brings . . . P-I GUY

When you get a chance, PM me and I will give you our travel thoughts on Bowling Green.

What is military green. Was the car reprinted?? Any pics to share?

Florida is a big state, I am on the gulf coast north of Ft Myers. My car is tucked away at home on Ontario, we have a white 2011 Camaor convertible here.

Hi! I'm also in Florida for the next 4 weeks, but my ride is in the garage for the winter. I purchase it last summer in Quebec and I like it very much. It's still a real head turner!

Welcome to the forum. Love the Arctic White: look stunning when they are clean and flying down the road! I don't know why they didnt use white any other year. I saw one for sale two days ago here in Florida (although I too am Canadian)

hey i'm a newbie here. I just got my XLR on the 4th of october. but I had to wait in order to drive it. I had to get a left foot accelerator and a spinner (suicide) knob installed.I have the codes on my drivers license. So now I can drive it and really love it. I am loving this infrared color. its a 06, with just turned over 21k. The previous owner just used it as a sunday driver. There is hardly any dings or scratches on it. he kept it in the garage i will do the same. my mom has the srx crossover and she loves hers too. We went from being a honda family to being a caddy family. you can see the pics on my page

Hi Lana - My XLR is an '05 Triple Black base. I like your choice of color - my last 3 Cadillacs have all been black. Take a look at my pictures in my profile - you will see what I mean by "triple black" - Black exterior, Black interior and Black wheels. Black is the perfect color for the XLR, I think. You will notice, when you join us for some events, there are plenty of black XLR's that show up. You are in the perfect location - MIDWEST to enjoy several get-togethers. Make sure you get a BOBFEST 2012 on your calendar - a great way to get to meet a lot of the forum members. You will LOVE the attention you get with your XLR... it doesn't get old. Hope to meet you in Carmel, IN at the Automobilia show this month (8/25).

Dave

Hi Dave!
I love my XLR. It's Raven black.
What about yours? What year and color?
The XLRhas been my dream car since it first came out and I am so happy to be the proud owner of one for all of two weeks!
I will go check out your car and news and see when time allows but wanted to say hello.
Thanks for the nice note btw

Welcome to the XLR-Net Forum. Good to see another Midwest member join the group. I'm from Chicago (obviously) - we have several members in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin. Hope you can join us for some of our events (there is a show in Carmel, IN in August - we have 7 or 8 other XLR's already registered).
What color is your XLR?

Thank you, I use the Kozak auto dry wash cloth by Lexol to wash the XLR. KozaK Auto Drywash
I then clay bar the vehicle using Meguiar’s Ultimate quik Detailer as the lubricant. I also use Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax as the final coat.

Meguiars is found about anywhere while the Kozak cloth can be found on ebay.

Best of luck

Love the shine on your car in your avatar - what do you use?

I heard you were searching for work as a bank teller. Have you thought of Fifth Third Bank? check out their site by this link.
