Default C5 head light in open position....

Can you manually close a head light that is in the open position? My passenger side head light will not close. I have a stripped motor.

Its right at the top inside corner of the headlight cover, Has a rubber cover that you pull off & **** is under that. If it doesn`t work there must be something broken . Good luck!

That **** should be attached to the gear, so you might need to replace that. I know there is a post in the general sticky about it.
