Both of my lights are slow going up, the left one goes up first then the right. When I turn the lights off, the right light goes down slowly, the left sometimes stays up. I use the override switch and it goes down. I am going to replace the actuator seals, but purchase the actuators and relays just in case. I purchased a hose kit from Dr. Rebuild in 04, new in the box.

its usually not the hose. the doc has great trouble shooting guide, step by step on every component.
What I have found with a light/door that works, but works slowly is the relay is leaky and sending vacuum to the device, but at a slow rate.

Works as advertised!
I'd troubleshot to the regulators a while back and after changing them both, the headlights work great! Now how to remove the broken mounting screws that I enountered? They are pretty deep under the nose of the car to really get a screw extractor on them...beware to use plenty of rust eater to remove the mount bolts!
