I have never experienced anything like what you are describing – nor have I read about anything similar, and I have monitored the largest “Corvette-focused” forum for over 3 years.
 
Good luck, and please post the resolution?
 
Regarding the noisy roof – there is a TSB:

But I would not let a Dealer do what is described.
 
I did the fix described here – and it reduced the noise on my 2007’s top by over 95%:

Good luck.

Happy to have a Chevy dealer nearby with a good ‘Vette Tech.

I agree with fedlawman, this might be a fuel supply problem. Especially if you are running the tank low of gas, and drive up a 5 mile hill (I think that is what you said).
 
The Corvette gas tank is a complex arrangement. It is a split, two-tank system, with I think 3 fuel pumps in it, to move gas between the tanks and to the engine. This system has had some reported problems. Usually they seem to be failure in the guage display (caused by components inside the tanks), and also failures that will shut the car down completely.

This could be so many things. I think it's electronic in nature and the monitor is a great idea for solving it. Maybe this dealer does not have a good Corvette tech. Not all dealers are equal in their skill or understanding of these cars.

68 Corvette Wiper Help by camydog

Hi all,
 
I have been troubleshooting the wipers on my '68 coupe for a long time and have replaced many parts. I have the wipers working and the wiper door responds to the override under the dash. My problem is that the wiper switch has no effect on turning the wipers on and off and the door wants to close on the running wipers unless I override the door. I control the wipers by the override under the dash. They are on unless I override. Just on and off, no two speed.
 
The vacuum hoses are correct, I have a new wiper relay under the center console, the vacuum valve in the right fender is new, the hoses are new and I have good vacuum. The up switch on the wiper door works and the linkage for the wipers and door is intact.
 
So, the problem is the wipers will not work with the dash mounted switch, will not park, and the door will close on them while they are running if I don't override. I suspect the wiper motor curcuitry.
 
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
 
Thanks.

First, you are in the C6, 2005 and up, area. You need to go to the C3 section for your 1968.
 
Next, I once owned a 1972. There is a relay inside the wiper motor itself. This controls a lot of the wiper motor. It, along with a cam arrangement, controls the 'park' feature. You may need this relay, or may need an entire new wiper motor. You also need a factory service manual to help with your work on this.

Must be me but I can't find a C3 section under Chevrolet Corvette. I could find the C6 topic but that is different from this one. Have you mistaken a Corvette forum with Edmunds?

A 'red wiper door light'? I don't remember any such thing on my 72. But, it's been a long time.... And, the 68's are different animals in several things.
 
But, do you maybe have an added on security system, and this is a light for it?????
