    Courtesy Lamp Lens (P. side door)

    Yeah, I think you're right. I've managed to re-attach it for now...just can't shut the door too hard. Thanks for your input.

    Courtesy Lamp Lens (P. side door)

    Hello, all... just noticed that the top plastic clip on my passenger side door courtesy lamp lens had broken and will not remain in place. It appears that one must acquire a complete assembly (GM# 10384583) to obtain the lens. Local dealer wants $56.25 plus tax and must source from Michigan...

    Driver side window noise

    "Rolled" my driver and passenger side windows down this afternoon while pairing the visor remote to my new garage door opener. When I triggered the close my driver side window screeched at me as if it was binding on something going up, but it continued to the top and set. I dropped her again...

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    Al... These two "solutions" appear to be the only options short of replacing the entire assembly. I'm currently running my headlights during all driving. A few years ago I changed out the side marker and forward facing light in each assembly when I upgraded to the 6000k headlamps. For...

    Important! XLR Headlight Assemblies

    This could be very good news for those of us in need... or anticipating a need... I think. Are the Canadian versions identical to the US? I've read that the European assemblies had some differences. Also, what does the CHMSL represent? Thanks for the info!

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    It was 3937 of 4136 built for model year 2006, based on build sheet info... therefore in the latter 5%. There may be some code that reveals the day/month but I'm not code-savvy.

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    Well, DANG! Just noticed yesterday the passenger side DRL lens has crazed on my '06 V... apparently enough to crack the lens, as well. It's still intact and the amber bulb works as designed, but I had hoped beyond hope that I wouldn't develop this problem. Felt a tad better after...

    AC Compressor

    Has anyone had to replace their AC compressor? Had a strange noise that would occur upon startup for a couple of seconds... then would revert to normal idle. Dealer diagnosed it as a faulty air compressor. They found the part and are into their 2nd day of work (they have an XLR Tech). Hoping...

    Trunk lid bushing

    Had to park in the sun for a few hours yesterday. Later noticed that the conical rubber bushings that cover a bolt head on each side of the trunk lid that penetrates into a corresponding hole on both sides of the trunk base... had melted beyond use. This doesn't appear to affect the latch as...

    Tires and mileage

    I installed a set of these last April and have had no adverse issues. They still look new, although I've only amassed 7500 or so miles on them to date. Each tire has looked fine at rotation time. Michelin has a pretty strong warranty... perhaps your tire dealer/source could be of some...

    Both Lift Cylinders for Hood Shocks Failed?

    Had a similar situation with my hood struts. Local XLR tech said both should be replaced even if one was faulty. My GMPP covered their replacement at a cost of about $53 ($50 deductible). Probably one of the last uses of GMPP as it expires in about 800 miles : (

    Exhaust Filler Plate

    Doesn't appear to fit the OEM exhaust, either. :dunno:

    Site Update: 2006 Cadillac XLR and XLR-V Information

    I noticed that your '08 V window sticker lists Adaptive Cruise Control as a feature. Were they able to figure out how to include that on V's post-'06?

    Exhaust Filler Plate

    I bought one of the American Car Craft Preforated Exhaust Filler Plates mentioned here a few weeks ago. The thing looks good and appears to be as advertised. I'm curious if anyone else has taken this plunge and has installed theirs? I have mine positioned but have not "affixed" it yet. There is...

    What were the original floormats on a 2006 V?

    I'm not an original owner, but to my knowledge the mats were simply a solid, non-logo'd color to match the carpet and base interior color. There are aftermarket suppliers (such as Lloyd's) that will provide a variety of logo's, if desired. I have replaced mine with the Lloyd's version in shale...
