Thanks, toothclark…..much appreciated.

Thanks again....I was hoping to get a suggestion for a source or even a brand/model to consider a replacement. If you have done this, can you recommend one?

Thanks, rexster314. Do you have any suggestions for a model or source for a CD head unit replacement?

2007 XLR base Model - the CD player recently quit working with 4 discs inserted, no noise or anything - would just give the CD ERROR message when I pressed the CD button to play. I thought perhaps it was jammed, so I removed the CD player, disassembled it, and removed the 4 disks. They did not...

Thanks for the note...good points. I asked the mechanic (he has a good reputation for his knowledge) about the bars and he said they (one in front and one in rear) are made of fiberglass and generally do not break or wear, but over time they begin to sag. He said there is a little adjustment...

Thank you for the reply, redvett94. I found what I needed with your help. Didn't know it was called a Leaf Spring, but makes sense. Thanks again.

I recently had my 2007 XLR serviced and was told the front torsion bar (made out of fiberglass) is beginning to sag, and needs replacement. They said the rear torsion bar is A-OK. The front of the car does sit very low and I have to be careful when pulling up to curb stops. I have serached...

Seat Doctor Steve, thanks for the reply. can you tell me more about Seat Doctor?

Mandy, the dash pad on my 2007 Platinum edition XLR has stitching the same color as the dash pad.

When I start my 2007 XLR with the radio on, I notice the signal is weak. I can turn off the radio and turn it back on, and the signal is normal. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I am new to the Forum, having just purchased my XLR this year, but we are interested in the 15th reunion idea at Bowling green. Thanks. Ron

Burl is dark purple OK! Finally! Someone actually points out that Burl is the dark purplish color that is on the back panel trim! That's all I have been asking anyone who knows to confirm. Everytime I asked the question, I get Ebony is black....I know that, but no one (until now) has...

Thanks CC. OK...so if I'm understanding you...burl is the color description of the upper trim piece, and not ebony? The picture does look like my trim color, but the ebony code on the part number is confusing. I think I will order the part, and hope for the best. The door trim pieces are...

color confusion CC, here's some of my confusion...see attached picture of part number 15269316, the back panel, and the parts stickers associated with it. (These are from Ebay) The picture appears to be the color I need...a dark purplish color...but the parts stickers associated with it...one...

This should be easily obtained info, but I keep getting conflicting input from various sources, including GM. I have a 2007 XLR Platinum Series with a Liquid Amethyst exterior and a Cashmere interior...those color codes I know and trust. I need to replace some interior trim (above the doors...
