My 73 had the similar problems.
There are springs that are flat metal wound into a
concentric spiral that are on the headlight door-end of the
driveshafts that come from the center mounted motor.
The springs on mine were not even, and only one door was
closing, plus didn't always want to open without a
kickstart from my fingers on the manual actuator knob that
opens the doors manually.
I removed one spring, halving the load on the motor, and
Voila!
You may also have one spring wound one turn more than the
other, shutting the one tightly but the other not strong
enough to do so.
This is probably the area to be fiddling around in. The
motor gets sticky with disuse, so if your car has set for
awhile, expect a ramp-up in motor efficienvy as it gets
freed up. Mine didn't work at all when I got it, and I
moved it manually for a few days (no spare motor). Moving
it freed it up and it has worked well since.
