Try www.ecklers.com. You're opening gears are made of plastic from the factory. Before you order the whole mechanism have a look at the gear. If the teeth are overly worn or missing than that is most likely your problem. You can also get brass replacements from what I understand. There's also the fix of after market fixed headlights. You may also want to have a look at your vacuum lines. They tend to dry out, get brittle and crack from the excessive heat in the engine bay. Trace them back to the reservoir. Keep us posted and post some pictures of your vette. We love pictures around here.

Cheers
