Wiper Problem
I purchased a 1970 coupe several months ago which had been parked for about 16 years and needed quite a bit of work. I have had my local mechanic do a lot work which has been great, however, he is stymied with a wiper problem. The wipers and lights were not working so I had him put in a vacuum hose replacement kit and he replaced the several actuators and serveral control valves. Everything works now, however, when he turns the wipers off, the wiper door shuts on the wiper blades before they can retract. He checked everything but can't figure it out. Help!!
