Default Headlight wont go down

Finally got my baby back from the mechanic. He had her for almost a month!! When I went to use the headlights for the first time since getting it back, the passenger side headlight will not go all the way down. It stops so it is straight up in the air. I can give it a gentle nudge and it will continue its journey closed. Any ideas?? I thought it was getting caught on something, but wouldn't it stop halfway when opening too? I also thought that the motor is going bad. Not real sure. First car with mobile lights.

I had that same problem. I took the motor apart to see if the gears need to be replaced and it turned out not to be the problem. It was the motor itself that was going bad. I ended up replacing the motor. It was a 45 minute job to take the motor out and inspect the gears and re install.
