Headlight adjustment
I am sure this is a topic that has been covered 100x, but I couldn't find what I needed in a search, at least for C3's.
Looking for how to adjust headlights (not normal screws, but the doors). I have one door a bit low when it comes up. They act slow and "sticky", but do work, every time. I am going to replace the vacuum filter and check valve first (on a budget right now). Looking for other's experience in this area, thanks in advance everybody.

The assembly instruction manual (AIM) explains how to make the up/down adjustment but does not actually show it.
If the door is low because of the stop, ease up on the stop. If it's not the stop, lengthen the actuator rod.
Go slow on the clevis; it could be very stubborn and you do not want to break the rod.
