Working in getting our newest car ready to be driven and I'd really like to have some sort of functional wipers just in case. I have 2 motors, one that came on the car and another I picked up for parts off a $1 table at Carlisle years ago for our Plymouth. Both motors run pretty well after some lubing and I now wonder if the mechanism is causing a drag. Off the car and hooked up both motors work well and seem to move with authority, you can stop them with your finger but it takes some effort. I have right next to no experience with vacuum wipers, so I don't know just how strong they should run. I have added some lube to all the pivot points and have the arms off the reduce drag, how easy should the rectangular tab in the middle be to pivot? I can make it function by hand with just my thumb and index finger, I'm just not sure how soft a touch they should be. Any input before I just sent one of the motors off for a rebuild? Thanks!
