Cadillac XLR retractable hard top issues requiring solution on Cadillac XLR

Some Cadillac XLR owners report experiencing issues with the retractable hard top, such as the roof sticking in a half-open position or getting stuck when retracting from the fully closed position, often requiring multiple dealer visits for temporary fixes. Additionally, some owners have encountered problems with the roof detaching unexpectedly due to adhesion issues, which can be concerning for those wanting to enjoy open-air driving. Electrical problems are also common, as malfunctioning sensors can prevent the hard top from moving correctly, causing the hydraulic motor to run without providing the necessary movement. To address these issues, some owners have found success by resetting the sensors, checking the front tonneau and folding top position sensors with diagnostic tools, ensuring the hydraulic motor fluid level is adequate, and performing regular maintenance checks to identify potential problems early.
