Default Head light questions

Has anyone had to replace the gears in their pop up head lights? My right side is starting to grind and I have seen some replacement gears on the net for about $65.00. Has anyone tried this? I have an '01 ragtop and would like to end this grinding. I appriciate any help on this, thanks.

Been there done that.
Check out Rodneys site, he's the man with the gears and the plates to get your covers mounted backed correctly.
If you look for my name on the Corvette forum you will see a thread that I started regarding this issue..If you need some help let me know.
Go to Fiero online shopping then electrical page down to Corvette headlight gears.
Can't get the link to work but that is the correct address.
