Default headlight gear

If one of your headlights gets stuck half way when closing and the motor continues to run is it possible that the gear is causing the problem? It also gets stuck in the same spot when opening. I haven't had time to get a closer look at it, just trying to get a few suggestions.

I suspect your Delrin bushings, then.

Read the TechTips in the C4 Section on this Forum while you wait for your replacement bushings to arrive.

You can order headlight bushings on Ebay, from Eckler's or Mid-America Motorworks (MAM)

Also, check out this article from Corvette Fever magazine.
