Suggestion
I would use an aerosol spray GS85 with teflon repeatedly as the previous application dries until the shaft frees up-then use a similar spray but containing graphite to leave some lubricant in the interface.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After spending a few hours t-cutting the rear of my car where some nice chap had keyed it while parked in the shopping centre car park aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!, I decided to have a look again at my non-functioning rear wiper. Now I am sure I have asked before, but don't wish to give up just yet, is there a fix for a very stiff wiper shaft? oooh err missus. I have the Targa, so the wiper shaft comes through the glass, and engages in the motor.

POST 2Original post

I would use an aerosol spray GS85 with teflon repeatedly as the previous application dries until the shaft frees up-then use a similar spray but containing graphite to leave some lubricant in the interface.

POST 3Original post

remove the wiper arm bolt and remove the arm. then spray wd40 around the shaft while running the wpper several times. repeat several times. protect the paintwork from the lubricant. get some ZX1 friction reducing oil and apply a few drops.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
