windshield wiper very slow

[dstlaurent]

Hi, i think my windshield wiper mechanism is dirty ... how i can clean it and oil it?

Not sure how to clean it, but are you sure that it's dirty? It could be that it's not getting enough power - my windshield wipers were going really slow too, turns out the alternator was dead. I would check the voltages from your battery just to make sure.

Is it just me, or does everyone else wipers bang down hard when they go down ? Mine are so annoying that I hate to use it. My aunts in her 01 Camry sound rough too. They do seem to go normal speed though, however I do wish they were intermittent
