For starters, don't let ANYONE touch your XLR, that isn't an 'XLR CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN' (yes, they exist)! Don't even allow a regular service tech at a Cadillac dealership to work on it, unless you already have a trusted one. Call around to dealerships in your area. Some have them and some don't. You can also call around to private luxury shops, as they may have a XLR Certified Tech. Read the link I attached to this post.
GM Goodwrench Develops World Class Training Regiment For Cadillac XLR

I went through an absolute nightmare with 07 XLR top. After spending over $2k at the dealership with mis-diagnosis after mis-diagnosis (hydraulic pump, sensors, etc), I finally found a Certified XLR Tech... Only $200 later, he told me it was just an overdue & well needed computer update!

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but it's indeed a VALUABLE tip! Good luck!

My honda odyssey 2002 hood latch stuck it opened the hood and now not closing even droping the hood from difference hight and even pressing it ???

SOUND LIKE YOUR HOOD LATCH IS STUCK IN THE RELEASE POSITION. YOU CAN DO TWO THINGS. REPLACE YOUR HOOD LATCH OR PUSH THE LATCH BACK INTO POSITION MANUALLY EVERYTIME YOU OPEN YOUR HOOD. IT'S EASY. FIRST CHECK YOUR HOOD RELEASE LEVER (DRIVER SIDE KICK PANEL)AND MAKE SURE IT'S MOVING FREELY. IF LEVER IS OK,GO TO YOUR HOOD LATCH. LOOK TO THE RIGHT OF THE LATCH (LOOK DOWN FROM THE TOP VIEW)AND YOU'LL SEE A SMALL METAL BAR WITH A SPRING PULLING DOWN ON IT(MIGHT NEED FLASH LIGHT TO SEE BAR AND SPRING). TAKE A FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER AND PUSH DOWN ON THE METAL BAR WHERE SPRING CONNECT. THE BAR SURE MOVE ABOUT 1/4 INCH DOWN. CLOSE YOU HOOD AND YOU'RE DONE. YOU JUST HAVE TO PUSH THE BAR DOWN EVERYTIME YOU OPEN IT.

How do you put the top down. I have a rental, and their is no owner's guide.

1.Empty the trunk of all contents
2.Park on a level surface and set parking brake, shift auto trans into Park or manual into R
3.Turn the ignition off.
4.Open the trunk.
5.Pull down the convertible top latch located above the rearview mirror and turn it counterclockwise to unlatch . Leave the latch open and turned to prevent damage.
6.Pull rearward on the side edge of the convertible top and pull it off of
the windshield frame.
7.Push the convertible top down into the trunk
8.After the top is stored, push on the convertible top to ensure that the top is fully retracted and securely stored.
9.Close thet runk by pressing down from the rear center of it with a swift, firm motion.

How do you remove the hard top from a 1975 450SL?

There is a soft top tool that should be in the tool kit for the car(although you could use a flat blade screw driver). There are 4 securing posts that must be turned to un secure top. 2 are above the sun visors and 2 are just behind the front doors where the b pillar would be if it was a sedan. Make sure you un plug the defroster connector behind passenger seat on side panel. There is a crank behind the driver's seat that secures the rear portion of the top and activates your storage compartment lid. The cables can stretch causing it not to pull the securing latch. If it doesn't work try taking a long screw driver and pushing the latch. You can adjust the cable when the top is off. It will take 2 people to remove the top once it is loose. good luck

I can't get my convertible top to go up or down, it is stuck half way. Is there a manual release for it?

The convertible top motor and release lever are in the luggage compartment.
From the Bentley manual, the following general procedure is suggested in order to close the top in an emergency situation.
Main motor. To release the top linkage from the motor, lift the left corner of the rear seat to access emergency release handle.
It is then possible to push the top manually to a near closed position. In case of the semi-automatic top, simply attach and lock the front latches.
Front latches. Once the fully automatic convertible top has been released from the motor and manually pushed to near-closure, emergency latching of the top is possible by using the S-shaped hex key provided in the emergency tool kit(attached to the trunk lid underside).
First, remove the the plastic cover over the latch motor in the front bow of the convertible top.
Next, use the hex key from the tool box to crank the front latches shut.

Hood is stuck, can't get it to pop

Pull the Release again and go to the Hood and then Lightly knock on the hood with your Fist around the Area where the Latch is Located. Do Not Push down on it Just Knock on it with an Upward Motion.
