"Swamp the metal piston thingumy with wd 40" as M/Bent says is o.k. for a quick fix but it will dry out eventually, the 3 shiney rods under the wipers black plastic cover need greesing every 2 or 3 months

I believe the best this to do is use a silicone based grease/lubricant. you need to take the black plastic cover off first and clean any existing gunk off then apply the new lube on all the moving part and try the wiper again.

This link from Stratman should help you with the process!

Dear mr_ace5288,
well it was once a frens car havin the same problem as you stated, and found out that the wiper tips stuck at the edge of the metal frame of the windscreen. So it can even move the wiper. Then it might also be other possibility that the motor is not powerful to push the wiper when it is almost to the center. Try check this out.
