Is there a way to lube the headlight motor bearings? It has been garaged for
over 20 years and I don't want to damage them when opening for first time. I
know they have a manual knob and they both worked correctly when put away.
Any tips before rolling up? Thanx- lib

===============================================================
In order to lube them, you have to remove them from the car and totally
dissassemble them. The best thing to do is just reach in between the hood and
the nose panel and turn the wheel on each one until they start to open. You can
then safely attempt to open them electrically.

Good luck,
