1997-2004 C5 Headlight Motor Bump Stop 16524060 - OEM Number(s) (16524060)
Restore Proper Headlight Closure—Fix Known Factory Flaws
Tired of your C5’s headlight doors reopening after shutdown? This headlight motor bump stop solves that problem once and for all. Designed as the direct replacement called for in Chevrolet’s Tech Service Bulletin #00-08-42-002, this small but critical part prevents the driver's side headlight from creeping open once powered down.
Why It Matters
Over time, the original bump stops degrade or fall out, allowing the headlight linkage to overshoot its closed position. This replacement installs on the motor bracket tabs and acts as a soft landing for the motor arm, correcting the fault without modifying your Corvette’s factory hardware.
Designed for Long-Term Reliability
Manufactured in the USA from durable rubber and molded to GM specifications, this bump stop ensures smooth, quiet, and complete headlight closure every time you turn off the lights.
