Today while driving to class it started to rain, turned on the wipers, and after about 5 minutes of operation they stopped. When I got to school I checked them out a little, and I found that when both blades are pulled away from the window they will work, but I can stop them with little force. When I put one or both blades against the window they stop. I got in(getting wet and all) and turned the switch I could here the motor running but no action from the arms. This is for my 79 Westy. ----- have your tried oiling your wiper pivots?
