Headlight motors

[Winge]

I’m missing the hideaway headlight cover motors on my 1969 Chrysler 300.
Is there a aftermarked option for new ones ?

Generally people buy an OEM motor and have it rebuilt.
I have not seen an aftermarket option
You can try this website and ask if something aftermarket will work.

My guess is that you will buy something OEM and have Topher rebuild. Welcome to FCBO and Good luck!

Did 69 have more than one motor?

No. Click link below. Gary's grill has a single electric motor with a long rod to operate both headlight doors

I think 69 is vacuum motor, you'll want Topher's electric replacement kit. IMHO rebuilding the vacuum ones is a waste of time if you just want functional doors. Especially with any engine upgrades that diminish vacuum.

1969 300 has an electric headlight door motor.

1968-1971 Chrysler 300 all used electric and use the same motor.

This is what you need. I have one for sale, off of a C-Body Dodge. PM me if interested. I probably have the square rod that goes through the motor, but I have no idea how to ship it. Best thing for the rod is to visit a local wrecking or salvage yard...

PVC pipe.

PVC was my thought too, but I think in most cases, someone who removes the motor in a yard is probably too lazy to take the rod. So, they can probably be found in a yard in a C, B, or even a D body Mopar for little or no cost saving shipping. When I dismantled the C-Body this motor came off of, I was knowledgeable enough to also take the rod. Nice car - Bad Ohio rust on the Body (with a 440 engine, all power, etc. Can't fight the Rust Monster and win every time)...

Rod comes out with motor and motor does not work without rod. Why would anyone take motor and leave rod?
Ship the motor in a box and rod in PVC pipe.
