I have a 72 and the wiper door comes up on start up and stays up even when I shut down. I can push it down gently with car off. Anyone know what is causing this?

On the passenger side under the wiper is a small vacuum switch that allows for park setting of wipers. It was bad on mine and allowed all functions to operate.
My problem is after I shut off the engine about 30 seconds later the wiper door opens. I have tried adjusting the wiper door vacuum safety switch and even replaced it but it still opens after I shut off the engine. The system is so simple but can be a real pain to repair.
