Other than cleaning and gaskets don't know what else Ficken does or replaces on a wiper motor rebuild. One thing I've noticed on a few taken apart is the leather or maybe felt seals on the sides and end of the paddle are usually dry and perhaps even shrunk a bit making for a very poor seal to the sides of the case.
The factory article on lubing with Trico oil might be of some use if you haven't tried it yet. Several have used regular vacuum pump oil as a substitute when doing the lube but don't know if the procedure has benefited long term or if they still had to do a rebuild.

And my windshield wipers, no one here wants to bother with them so I'm thinking of just replacing the gaskets to see if that fixes the vacuum on them.
