The drivers side headlight door sags a little on my 1991 corvette. I found that the teeny rod bushings that connects the motor to the "hinge" are worn out. Anyone know where I can find them? Would this be a dealer item? Or do they make a "complete" bushing kit for the whole headlight and motor assembly. Thanks

The kit is available from any of the parts catalogues for about $5. I highly recommend doing them both, since one is giving you problems already, the other probably won't be far behind.

You are talking about the 3 Delrin bushings which is not what the original poster is talking about. The connecting linkages seat inside a bushing... that's what he is talking about. I have never seen those sold anywhere.

Use Delrin, less moisture absorption, no big thing but helps and it cuts better than nylon. Use a very small, sharp cutting bit and light cuts, in other words keep the heat down. There is a blue million bushings out there, some are diagonally split to fit odd sizes, try a Boston Gear, McMasters Carr, or MSC catalog and/or online.
You're right, after re-reading the original post, I was thinking of the other bushings. Rob
