| probably best to strip out the set up and give it a clean.
is it front or rear wipers?
iv had cars before where the linkages have seized solid and no matter how much elbow greese theres no budging.
its pretty easy to remove front or rear wipers. pop the back panel off and it will be self explanatory, however be careful with the the front as its a tight squeeze and reguires patience to work it out slowly and scratch free | |

| Most importantly, TAKE PHOTOS of the linkage B4 you start stripping it down, makes it easier to put it back together again with a pic of it... | |
