Default headlight stuck open

I have a 75 Corvette that likes to keep its passenger side headlight up. I just printed all the diagrams from another posting, and when it warns up I will look to see what is or isn't connected. My question is what is holding it up? Is there a mechanical latch that I can move to lower it? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Don't get your fingers stuck in there.

Quick and easy.. but when your get it down you might try to find the issue that is causing it.

See if it's a vacuum or mechanical failure in the lamps. If you need a vacuum chart the yare on our site under the repair help section.
