Good video but I wouldn't use WD40 to lubricate anything on my vehicle. Something like a white lethuim grease would work better and last much much longer.
Vwon twoo and threee. Hello I am Count Dracula. I love your voice it brings me back to my Sesame street days. Silicone spray for rubber for those of you who want to know what spray is best and safe to use.
I have had this particular problem that started about two month ago. I thought it was because of the freezing weather, but spring has already come, and the problem continues. Sometimes the wipers work slowly and sometimes a little faster. I'll have to try to solve the problem putting some kind of oil, that is ok also in temperarures below zero. Thanks for showing us how to do it. I hope that this helps and don't have to change the mottors 🙂
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Definitely not "absolutely". This is actually a common mistake\ shortcut that a lot of auto mechanics do. A lot of these mechanisms use a sort of joint with rubber\plastic, and general purpose lubricants like "WD40 blue" will make rubbers go bad and plastic go brittle. Eventually, this will make the linkage go bad much faster than if you were to just leave it squeaky. The correct way to do this would be to clean the existing gunk and use a silicone based water resistant lubricant, which any auto garage usually has in stock.

Noup, all wrong. You need to remove linkage, undone joints, clean and grease them (lithium, ceramic, silicone grease). With penetrating oil you just remove grease and speed up corosion. Cheers.
