If you have a vacuum wiper motor, it might just be gummed up with old lube. I took mine apart and the internals (especially the flapper vane inside with the rubber seal) were in great shape luckily, so I cleaned it all up and then lubed it up with silicone dielectric grease (Dow Corning DC-4) and now it works great.

You want to avoid anything in there that would eat the rubber seal. If your seals are rotted then I think Flicken is your only choice for a rebuild, they don't sell parts.
