It is what you guys are thinking but I have an LT1 and its apparently different.
LS1 style

LT1 style, Mine
This is what mine do, The cover fell off the driver's side which is why it bounces because the gear doesn't stay in place. The Passenger side is stripped so bad it doesn't go up or down unless you pull it to get it started.

Driver's side, How would you replace that broken piece at the top?

Maybe take a piece of metal and drill 2 holes that can be held in place by the 2 upper motor bolts. Then weld a metal post of some kind where the old plastic post used to be.

My headlight motor is acting up again....the driver's side won't even pop up at all...I'll have to investigate this weekend.
Does any place fabricate stationary headlights for our cars? I'm getting tired of this.

I have a 2002 WS6. When I turn on the headlights, the right one only comes about halfway up. If I open the hood then turn the lights on, it comes all the way up. I can see scuff marks on the hood where the headlight door is hanging, but I can't see any obvious differences in the mechanisms of the two lights that would explain the problem. The only thing I can see is that the right headlight door seems to be a bit higher than the hood, whereas the left one is flush, or even a bit lower.

There is a video in the first post, showing how you can adjust the cover. It should only take a few minutes to adjust the lid/cover.

I have this problem with the driver's side headlight.
I got as far as the first page of replies, but i'm going to have to come back & read the remaining 22 pages....

OK, so I just replaced my driver side headlight motor with a refurb unit from autozone, but when I hit the switch it only goes up an inch. If I raise it manually, it will go all the way up. When I hit the switch to close, it will stay up while the passenger side goes down, and when i hit the switch to turn on it will go down, while the passenger goes up.
I've thought it would sync, but I've tried about 10 times and it hasn't worked.
