C3 Headlight won't pop up
Hi Guys, hoping I could get some help with a problem I've been having. My 79 headlights will get stuck in the down position. When I try to manually lift them up the vacuum pressure won't allow them to go up. Actually there is a ton of vacuum pressure forcing them down. After driving for awhile they will eventually pop up and they always go back down no problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

This is an excellent thread to help you understand how the system works and how to troubleshoot.
