C5 headlight door
I have a 2002 Yellow C5 - the drivers side headlight door started sticking and not opening well and now it seems to be out of adjustment - the door is sitting "crooked" in the opening. Any ideas? Thanks.

Can't say I've ever seen that. Sounds like something broke. Raise it up manually and have a look.

There is not that much to the assembly. The painted cover is held on by four screws, and the door assembly pivots on two shoulder screws, and is moved by a lever connected to the motor. If the cover appears to be secure at all four points, then you'll have to remove it to investigate.

headlight door parts
a couple of years ago I had problems with one of my headlights not always opening on my 99 coupe.
after some questions on this forum I was directed to a guy who specializes in GTO parts, but makes brass replacement gears for Corvette headlights.
I only needed the one but bought both and installed them (easily)..45 minutes - an hour each. They have worked flawlessly since.
don't remember the guy/company but found it through this forum
good luck
