Default Wiper Cowl Stuck Open

The wiper cowl panel on my 68 is stuck open! If I reverse the vacum hoses I can get it to close. Could it be the vacum relay for the headlights/wiper cowl? The headlights work fine.

Will the override switch make any difference in the way the door works? The override switch could be pulled down.

Tried that. The override does nothing. Any other ideas?

Where are the wiper blades? Are they fully retracted?

Yes, they are fully retracted but won't work when I turn on the wiper switch.
