Buick Reatta Headlight Motor Repair Kit on 2040-parts.com
Pacific Palisades, California, US
The original Buick Reatta headlight assemblies worked quite well in, say, the fifteen years of their operation but beyond that use they began to fail in two areas. The motor actuator, commonly called the crank arm, was die cast of a relatively soft zinc material and the nano second opening and closing action caused the center of the crank arm to gradually round out and become ineffective. Also, due to ageing, not usage, the torque rollers inside the motor began to crack, get broken up and, like the crank arm, became useless.
Our NEW DESIGN kit takes care of these deficiencies quite well.. The crank arm, the heart of the kit, is cold formed of steel and is then CNC machined to final configuration for a perfect fit between it and the flat section of the motor shaft.. It is superior to the OE part in every way and will last the life of your car.
This is a very complete kit as all of the parts necessary to rebuild your old headlight motor are included. There is heavy impact when the headlight assembly comes to a instant stop and we have replicated the OE impact bumper at it is injection molded in thermoplastic rubber and is available only to us. We do not ask that you use the old part from your assembly. A new plastic, Delrin, is used the our three torque rollers (roller bushings as they are sometimes called). and they are sized identically as the OE part. Other included parts are a distorted thread hex nut, alloy steel flat washer with the "DD" hole, an OE type link arm retainer clip, plastic insert nuts for the travel stabilizer function and a small packet of synthetic grease.
The Installation Instructions are tutorial in nature and complete. We tell you what tools you should use, what to do with them and give you some suggestions to make the job easier. We can always be contacted at (855) REATTAS should any questions arise. We also furnish you references for Internet websites that offer excellent maintenance and repair information for your Reatta.
We ship by USPS Priority Mail with two or three day delivery dependent upon destination and we ship same or next business day. Our charge is $6.95 for handling, insurance and postage to US destinations. Foreign destination costs are referenced in a prior section of this listing.

Nissan NV200 concept (2007): first official pictures
Tue, 24 Jul 2007By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 24 July 2007 09:19 Nissan NV200: the lowdown Nissan loves a barmy concept car (remember the Bevel, showcased at Detroit for older bob-a-jobbing builders?). And motor shows don't come much nuttier than Tokyo's bi-annual celebration of technical innovation and limit-pushing design. So it seems natural that the Japanese car maker has saved up a special treat for its domestic show this October.
Toyota Camatte 57s concept
Tue, 11 Jun 2013You may remember last year we reported the unveiling of a customizable, modular little concept car called the Toyota Camatte at the Tokyo Toy Show. This year Toyota has returned with an updated version called the Camatte 57s with more scope for families to personalize their space-framed little machines with a total of 57 external panels (as its name suggests) as well as the removal of the roof which apparently "adds to the fun factor and allows everyone on board to enjoy the colorful exterior they have created". Like last year's car the driving position can accommodate both adults and children with gown-ups sat in the right rear seat able to intervene should the infant pilots go astray.
Toyota TRD GT86 UK bound
Wed, 18 Jul 2012The Toyota TRD GT86 – a titivated GT86 – is heading for the UK as a special edition of Toyota’s new sports car. The Toyota GT86 (and, for that matter, the Subaru BRZ) is exactly the sort of car Toyota should be building in the 21st century; good looking, fun and affordable, it fills a niche Toyota have long been absent from. The only drawback has been a feeling that the GT86 could be more aggressive than it is and, to a degree, the Toyota TRD GT86 fixes that.
