Windshield Wipers

2006-06-12 by McLeod, Ronald

Maniacs . . .
 
That should be windscreen wipers, I guess.  I only drive my Mantis on sunny
summer weekends, but a week ago, on the way home from a car show, I got
caught in a real deluge - rain coming down in buckets.  And I discovered
that my windshield wipers are verrrry slowwww.  Not surprising, perhaps, as
the motor and and all the under-dash stuff are original (35 years old), and
I can't remember the last time I had to use them.
 
So, my question is, what should I do to restore proper operation of my
windscreen wipers, so that when I get caught in another downpour, they will
perform as expected?
 
Thanks in advance.
