Long tall Sally / It seems not all the dealers know about that, the dealers locally in Southern CA did a search across the US and only found one on the east coast, I called and it was for a car that had been waiting 8 months. This was all within the last month. Hopefully you are correct and...

No, it was not difficult to lift the trunk since it was being assisted by the gas shocks in the trunk. Lowering the trunk did not go down fast since it had to compress the gas shocks. I replaced the gas shock so when I had them off then the trunk was heavy and would fall if I let it. It sounds...

We have success... Since you cannot buy the Top Control Module any longer from what I have found, this is very important. The problem was the relay that is soldered into the TCM. I attached a picture of the relay inside the TCM that controls the trunk motor movement at the same time it triggers...

Hello everyone, my name is Bob, hopefully someone out there can help me. I have a 2005 XLR that the top stopped working, I have a tech 2 and a service manual. I replaced the top motor and all was great for a month. Then the trunk stopped lifting on its own any way you tried to open it, the motor...
