Wiper Door
Can anyone tell me why the wiper door on my 68 is in the open position, even when the wipers are off? The override **** is not in the on position. That was the first thing I checked.

Hi 68,
Do 68's have the vacuum valve under the right side wiper arm in the wiper well? If they do it needs to be closed by the right side wiper arm coming down into the park position and signaling that it's O.K. for the actuator to close the door.
I'm sorry I'm not sure if 68's have this valve or not.
Regards,
Alan
