Best headlight motor rebuild kit on the market today!
This is a complete kit. There is nothing else to buy!
Caution: You will find buying and installing an aftermarket plastic gear to be a waste of time and money. They are very low grade and do not last very long.
Precision CNC machine made brass or hard anodized aluminum headlight gear to replace the failure prone plastic headlight gear in the Saturn SC2. Easy to install. Complete instructions are included. Each gear kit includes a packet of high temperature grease which is superior to the grease originally used in these headlight motors. The side cover will need to be pried off to do this repair but that is easy to do. A two part urethane glue packet is included with each gear kit to glue the side cover back on. Includes all that is in the picture below. A new brass CNC machined gear, new rubber bumper, grease, urethane and the special steel brace and bushing.
Symptoms of a failed gear in the headlight motor:
If your headlight motor makes a grinding noise when turned on or turned off (this usually happens at the full open and full closed position) this is what you need to repair your headlight motor. If you do not repair or replace your headlight motor once this begins to happen - sooner or latter the headlight will not raise at all. If you have the factory alarm/remote door locks the headlights may act funny if you have a headlight motor that is in need of repair.
The OEM plastic gear and the rubber bumper are the weak parts in these headlight motors. Once rebuilt with my new heavy duty gears and rubber bumpers the headlight motors should last the life of your car.
New design! Re-Engineered for even longer lasting life!
Now upgraded to include a newly engineered special steel brace with a special plastic support bushing. I have noticed a few glue joint failures. Glue joint failures happen because the plastic that these headlight motors are made of does not take any adhesive well. The glue joint surface is small and once installed it has to take a tremendous force that occurs when the headlight gets full open and full closed and stops abruptly. I have added a special stamped steel brace with a special plastic bushing. This brace and bushing does two things. It applies a slight pressure against the side cover helping to eliminate side cover glue failures. But most importantly it adds a new bearing surface to support the shaft thus removing all the pressure of the shaft from the side cover and transferring it to this new brace. Once installed this repair should easily last the life of the car.

I do not offer free shipping.
