Yes, with linear actuator on the operating '72 door also....

but you have to be into electronics, or forgetaboutit....

unless you really good with wiring, then maybe a aftermarket kit can be worked in ....maybe even with a vacuum operated door....

I'm interested in your question and thought someone may have come up with a solution, but not loking good. I tried this by installing a Hella Intermittent Control Unit (On a '75, so no door to worry about). Thought I had it done, without the wiper arms on, the wiper pivots would do one turn under control of the Intermittent switch. Put the arms on and found that they didn't move, the wiper motor was still in "park" mode. I've had other problems with the car, so haven't got back to this, will will in due course.

AFAIK, late shark int wiper modules are not available, or cheep, then you get into interfaces with early shark switches/motors...let along wiper doors...I never heard of anyone making a unit that would fit all the various configurations, as anything stockish that could fit a variety of installs...

everything I have picked up on, says you are on your own, just as I was....

come think of it, I never documented my intermittant wiper electronics...not even a schematic....

What I was going to try was something like a volume **** and a capacitor wired to the normal speed wire on the switch. This is a very low priority for me at the moment. Oh and the wiper door should go up and down each time.
