1969 wiper replacement question
Hi, Have owned my 69 for a few months now, (I had a 77 before) with the wiper door how does one change the wiper blades? Is it the same override switch to get the wiper door to raise?

It looks like the pull down on the left is missing and the **** for the wiper to stop the cycling on the windshield to change the blades between the two pull downs is also missing. I just went through part of that mess and got familiar with some of those parts and functions. My wiper door linkage was frozen open from lack of use and was a real SOB to repair. Changing blades is nothing compared to the linkage issue.

Yes, the little white stub was a post with a black **** on it. You would turn it to stop the wipers where you want them to stop. You are also missing/or its broken too, another pull down switch like on the right for the headlight over-ride.
