What would restoring these cars be without having the ability to use remanufactured eyelid door actutators? Everyone knows that Cougars have two relatively unique attributes, the sequential taillights and the eye lid doors. These work great and it is great that these are not inferior repros. I installed these in the '67 that has been in our family since new. The eyelids started to get off-kilter when the car was around 10 years old. After many years, its great not to have to "help" the eyelids open or close.
Watching first one "thennnnn" the other headlight "open" really started to annoy me not to mention the closing where one would and the other "sometimes" would! After manual assisting both ways I finally saved up for these units. Not cheap but worth every penny now that I have them in and working. A detailed procedure to follow but taking your time and doing the steps correctly was an easy hour for installation. Can't say enough about the quality of the two I received. Highly recommend !
I followed the instructions and didn't run into many problems. Take the advice of purchasing the mounting pins! The threads broke off on one of mine and the other side (nut) came off easily... although I had to beat it into submission to get the bolt out. Either way, I destroyed both bolts getting them out. Another hint ... take there advice with getting the bolt out. After all failed, I purchased a air hammer and it came out in seconds. you may find it easier to access if you drop down the valance for a straight or straighter shot at the bolt. After all of that... the rest went together with ease. Now I just stand there and am stunned at how fast they go up and down.
