The drive gear is striped out. You need to either replace or flip the gear. Im sure someone will pop in here with the link for you. I dont have it.

Not to threadjack, but my headlight started making a noise today, when i put them up, they come up, but one sounds like it is still trying to go up even after it is up, it makes the noise for about 5 secounds after they come up. If i get out and pull up on the light, if feels like it 'locks' in place, and stops the noise. If i dont pull up on it than it will 'float' when driving. It makes the noise when going down to. Is this the drive gear also?

I tore it apart, and you can see the same spot everytime is the one that it is just shreading.
