Yeah man but I'm thiking there is some mounting problems maybe if noone is pulling them, just check for free movement, compare one headlight to the other for free movement.

The one that always goes has tons of " slop " you can pull it up like an inch . junk

Anyone have a un opened broken window motor I could have ?? I was thinking I could install it and take it to the dealer and have them replace the entire assembly

Just trade it in for a Camaro SS... lol!

Sorry.

That is really frustrating. My wife and I have a daily commuting 240SX that is 11 years old and 230,000 kms on it with the roll up headlights. Knock on wood, we've only have trouble once with them 3 years ago, and I solved that with simply a little lubricant.

I wish I could offer some good help.

Hey Twitch, don't you have warranty left? I'd be down at the dealership pronto. I can't believe GM never fixed that problem. They should've gotten rid of those hide-away headlights years ago.

I wouldn't worry too much about a dealer figuring out what the window switch and WOT switch are for. I have not come across a dealer smart enough to know what was going on with their own parts, let alone some aftermarket ones.
