Here's the rundown. I just put the newer style 88-up headlight assemblies on my 84. They run just fine, but neither lamp closes 100%. They lack an inch at most. Any ideas??

Check the rubber adjustable stops, they may need readjusted. Also look fo any interference.

manually adjust both of them till they are all the way open and firm on the stops, if that doesnt put them full open , then adjust the stops

neither of the above answers worked.....I could adjust the stops, but that wouldn't do any good. they would still not completely close. I cant even completely close them by hand. They roll perfectly, open fully, make no noises....they just don't finish the close 100%. The drivers side is the worst of the two, it misses closing by a little over 1/2 inch. The passenger side is about a 1/4 inch.

Are there any good ways to adjust them??

will they adjust all the way closed with the manual ***'s?

the ***** get VERY tight, I've turned them both until I cannot turn them without mechanical advantage (channel locks), and they still fail to close. they are freshly rebuilt, I'm almost tempted to see if channel locks wont do the trick...
