OMG. That looks like the same piece of crap GM uses in their retractable headlight motors. Dealership wanted around $350 to replace the motor, replace the motor yourself for ~$125 or take the motor apart, replace the plastic gear for ~$4... It's such a common problem there is metal replacement gear for it
4th Generation Headlight Fix
Exactly. I just fixed my pop up headlights in my 1988. Cost me $7.99 per headlight for 2 sets of plastic bushings, plus many hours of careful disassembly and reassembly, but I have plenty of time now so that was OK. Dealership wanted some astronomical price to do it. The plastic gears were OK, but the bushings were crumbled up.
