Default 2004 C5 Right head light pop up problem
My right head light won’t pop up part of the time. If it isn’t working I can rotate the manual open counter clock wise and the head light will pop up fine for the reast of the day. Do I need to replace the motor or is there a fix? Any help is Appreaciated.

Easy fix. Flip this little dude over. I thought it might be a bit of a project, but took a total of maybe 10 minutes...
