Default wiper door

The wiper door stays in the open position, i was playing around with it and it was working and then it stayed in the open position. i pulled the inside **** it would just open a hair more. The actuator would move back and forth,it feels like its binding but its not,no leaks. So what would be doing this. Its a 69

Hi w43,
Now I'm curious.
What did you remove, and then it worked?
I'm not clear from what you posted.
Regards,
Alan
