I do not recommend attempting to remove the vinyl top. If you don't like it simply don't buy the vehicle. There are many more Eldos without a top than with, you should have no trouble finding one. They drill all sorts of holes to get the shell holding the vinyl to stick to the roof. Also...

My Cadillac Eldorado says YOU TAILGATE I SLOW DOWN GOT IT? Unfortunately, plenty of people somehow don't seem to read this.

Hi, I can't seem to access the article behind today's picutre of the day regarding a hybrid Cadillac or something as this requires registration on their site. Don't feel like doing that - can somebody post this article with pics here? Thanks!

Isn't this (mechanically) the same car as the Buick Regal, as well as some Olds model? Should be plenty of spare parts in junk yards if you look for all 2 or 3 brands.

Those tail lights look weird - can't tell whether the turn signal will be red or amber or whether they are LEDs- anybody got any info on this?

I've also used regular and never had any problems in the past.

The Northstar engine on my 99 Eldorado ETC seems to be shaking noticeably when starting for a few minutes. It is summer now so cold can't be the problem. There is also enough oil in there, and the gas is from Shell (mid-grade). The odometer says 72 k miles. What could be causing the...

My 99 Eldorado has about 70 k miles down, I strongly assume the previous owner (I bought it at about 63 k) never changed the cabin air filter. I just read an article in the paper that one should change it every 10 k miles or so. Anybody ever done this? How does one change it, and how much...

Well, that wouldn't work for me. I have only 2 fillings, one gold and one ceramic. I brush regularly! I read in a different forum that the antenna for the remote is somewhere underneath the back seat, and that all you have to do is lengthen it with some wire to give more range. I'm not...

How long do the batteries in the key remote really last? My 99 Eldorado has 70k miles, and I can only open the car from a few yards away. Often I have to stand there and try several times, which I annoys me given that everyone else on the parking lot seems to be able to open their cars from 30...

My tires are practically new and have only been driven 5 k miles, but they have been on almost a year and have lost some pressure (not much). I looked in the booklet regarding the recommended tire pressure but it didn't have any concrete answers. What should be the proper tire pressure for...

I want to get an oil change done and bring my own oil (so I can be sure that good quality is used) - how many quarts will I need to to a complete change? I have a 99 Eldorado with the 4.6 l V8 Northstar.

I finally took the chance and tried out the Brillo pad on the white stripes after first soaking them with dish washing liquid. Worked great, they came out nice and white, and there didn't seem to be any abrasion. It's probably o.k. to use brillos as long as you only do it once or twice a...

How often is one supposed to change the air filter on a 99 Eldorado? I changed mine about 5000 miles ago, conditions are not too dusty. Also, what about the cabin air filter? My Eldo has 68 k miles, I doubt the previous owners ever changed them...

Well, I went ahead and checked the owner's manual, and to my surprise, there it was: You have to push menu until you see how much oil life is left, then hold info reset until it goes back to 100 % (I didn't think it would be in the operating manual but rather in a manual for the mechanics)...
