Source ? can't say, but as I recall it's a soft foam square cross section donut. Thanks! I was wondering if it was something I could just cut out of soft foam rubber. Wonder if it is similar material to the torsion bar sealing ring. Kind of a squishy foam rubber. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Also the ID of that went work. I'll check with Matt but thought we had done these. Problem is getting all the new stuff listed. Mark |

My apoplexies,
We do make these, form the drawing I thought it was under the arm mechanism at the motor under the "round flange section" section. I can now see #24 goes in 25 the metal arm. They are right here - https://900designs-container.zoeysite.com/h...aring-sleeve-1# There are 2 (technically 3) versions of the arm assemblies. @ are metal and work the same way, one integrates some of the bushings and acts as a "fuse" in case the bucket gets bound up. This might help Attached image(s) |

@Mikey914 Thanks Mark. I don't think that's the part though. I think those bushings are 26 and 27 on the diagram. I think this one should be a foam or rubber washer intended to prevent water from migrating from the headlight compartment to frunk via the motor shaft. Could be wrong, but that's how it looks to me. Should be an easy part to source from hardware store items but figured if you guys were already making them, that would be better.
That diagram is screwy though. Ain't no hole in that cover and the actuator arm is inside, not outside. Must have been drawn during Octoberfest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

Ok my 1st impression was correct. I just looked more closely at the diagram and thought I misunderstood.
Since were selling a kit would be nice to have. Matt did just do this . Again I'll ask @matty900 |

I believe that is a later model year part for the ones that had the boot that covers the motor/push rod. We have not made this part yet.

Yeah, but why put an old crappy part on when a new one is not expensive? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

This train went way off the tracks.
After checking ten headlight motors I found this one. Brent is looking for the soft round square cross section sealing washer #24 in the parts diagram. I agree it is only found on later cars that have the rubber boot on the rotating arm. See photo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Could probably be found used in usable condition. It looks like Villemi needs the same part Attached thumbnail(s) |

I know we made these, just not sure if we got them listed. I'll have to check Monday when I get back to verify stock and get these up.
