someone must have this problem

My first guess is that due to the paint a good ground is not present. Check the voltage going into the wiper motor and see what that is. Second guess is that the linkage is somehow binding.

if it's the ground just check ,test wire from motor to ground,copper strip corroded?

I have an '80 to and just replaced my wiper motor, they are now slow and they get stuck in the half way position all the time. I have lubed the linkage, even made sure the joints were not to tight, still have the problem.

I'm with slofarmtruck on this, with this I might add, did any paint get inside the wiper motor or into the harnace plug where it connects to the wiper motor? jim

Re: slow wipers
 

i think these wipers are notouriously slow anyway = (

+1 on that. Also you can never get the right speed for the amount of rain coming down. Either to slow or to fast. I think a company sells a regulator that will send slower signals though. Not Sure.
