Default Vaccuumless wiper door question

I have my dash all torn out of the car and want to double check the wiper switch. How do I get the 'pop up' door to open without starting the car. Can't start the car to build up vaccuum because of other projects on the go too.

Hi S,
You can take the rubber plug out of the end of the wiper actuator and push on plenum in side the can to push the door open.
Regards,
Alan
PS: You can use your finger if it's long enough or a screw driver.
