DSE Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit - Wiper Door (1968 - 1972 Chevrolet Corvette) - 121621
Modernize one of the most distinctive systems on your C3 Corvette with the Detroit Speed 121621 Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit. Engineered specifically for 1968 - 1972 Chevrolet Corvette models equipped with the factory wiper door, this system combines seven-speed windshield wiper operation with electric wiper-door control. Five intermittent delay settings plus dedicated low and high speeds give you modern control in changing weather, while the electric door system eliminates the original vacuum-operated wiper-door actuator and associated vacuum hoses for a cleaner, more reliable-style installation.
The Detroit Speed 121621 system uses a compact, low-profile modern OE-style wiper motor mounted to a CNC-machined aluminum adapter plate at the stock firewall bolt pattern. A separate wiper-door motor installs inside the cowl area and bolts directly to the existing wiper-door linkage. The wiring harness includes an OEM connector that plugs directly into the existing wiper-door limit switch, and the control module prevents the windshield wipers from operating until the wiper door has opened. Detroit Speed also incorporates a seven-position rotary switch, simplified wiring harness and push-button windshield washer functionality into this application-specific C3 Corvette package.

FAQs
What Corvettes fit the DSE 121621 Selecta-Speed Wiper Kit?
Detroit Speed specifies part number 121621 for 1968 - 1972 Chevrolet Corvette models equipped with the wiper-door system. This application is specifically engineered to control both windshield wiper operation and the wiper door.
Does the DSE 121621 eliminate the original vacuum-operated wiper door?
Yes. The kit uses an electric wiper-door motor mounted inside the cowl area that bolts directly to the existing wiper-door linkage. This allows the original vacuum hoses, wiper-door actuator and actuator bracket to be removed.
Can the windshield wipers operate before the wiper door opens?
No. Detroit Speed engineered the control system so the wiper module will not allow the wiper blades to operate unless the wiper door is open. The harness connects directly to the existing wiper-door limit switch to integrate door position into system operation.
