Welcome To The XLR Site : )

Hi Michael,

Welcome aboard! FYI, I am familiar with having to repair the upholstery. A couple of years ago I forgot and climbed into the driver's seat with an open end wrench in my hip pocket. Yup, the fork end facing up of course. Ripped the heck out of the side bolster. A local upholstery shop recommended by my Cadillac Dealer did a beautiful job replacing that section. The Bumper Sticker is true. "Stuff Happens". Not quite what it says, but close enough.

Again, Welcome!

Good morning. And no idea. The mechanic took me back into the Cadillac shop. And together we inspected all the obvious places under and above the vehicle. And nothing. No leaks. No stains. No odors. Nada! We discovered that the XLR appears to have had a prior "fix" to the tanks and fuel pumps. I am not trying to run done more details on the service records. So 2 hrs and nothing to fix. And we had all the bulletins in hand pointing to prior instances in XLRs and Corvettes. Frankly looks like its one of those mysteries other owners have reported where it happens and then they cannot replicate the event.

Fortunately, the only issues we did discover are easily fixed - not major and also not cheap.

But gosh the XLR is really a piece of art - I know its a corvette chassis , but the design is magnificent.

Thanks for asking Tall Sally

Our cars have gremlins and sometimes these can pop up and are hard to find. That’s why this website was made I guess. So others who are stumped can come here and have friends point out what similar situations that they have found. Sometimes this helps and other times it doesn’t.
