Does anyone have a known good wiper motor?

Mine works but it seems quite slow?

I'm happy to strip it down and re-grease the 'gearbox' in it and the linkages but I'd rather have a replacement incase I screw something up.

Last one I took apart was on the rear of a mk4 vw golf about 10years ago ha ha

I had this issue about 8 years ago. The problem was not the motor, but the linkage. The part where each wiper connects to (where you attach hem.The centre shaft rotates inside a cylinder.
I drilled a 2mm hole in the casing and used WD40 and then some general oil, it freed it up and they have been fine since.
It's worth a check.
Best way to check is to disconnect the motor and see if it runs faster when not connected.
