I found some interesting info on the Net after I sent the message below.  
First, the vette actuators are very expensive, about 104 per side.  
Tanner and all seem to average around 50 -- perhaps we should let the 
Vette owners know.  The more interesting thing that I found is that they 
sell a rebuild kit for 10.00 per unit.  It seems that the same part is 
always failing, the front seal.  The parts and instructions are at 
http://www.zip-corvette.com/index.html.  I intend on buying two of these 
seals and doing the deed -- I will let everyone know whether they work.
