Mats,

I think you're referring to the actuators that are located at each front corner. Are you're completely inoperable or rusted out? I might have a pair of used ones from a parts car. I think the ones on my car were in pretty good shape, but like all things I need to look them over and see if there are seals that I can replace. The way these are constructed makes it seem unlikely that they can be rebuilt however.

Anybody else have experience here? The 68-69 Toros had a single actuator for both doors, but those were much lighter than 66-67, and others have posted a replacement style that they have installed for the 68-69 cars. Of course, Olds got rid of the hidden headlamps in 70, until they reappeared later in the 80s again (or was that the 90s?).
