you mean have a wiper door? If thats what you mean, then yes, unless they have had a later model long style hood thrown on. All C3's 68-72(I just had a brain fart, is 72 the last year???) had wiper doors.

Daniel,
According to the black book, you are correct in saying that the last year for the wiper door was 72. Any vette between 68 and 72 without this wiper door has been changed because sometimes it is just easier than to fool with the door. I repaired my wiper door and am just as happy as can be.

I can imagine getting that wiper door to work is like me getting my headlights to work. I'd never seen them move on their own, so the first time they moved on their own was like majic...I chit my pants, couldn't believe I fixed it. :lol:
