Wiper problem

I have a small problem with the front wipers, it is not big yet,
what happens is that it sort of stops for a while at top before it returns down again. It was not like this when i bought it 3 moths ago. On my wrecked car it was always like this.
Was wondering if there is some points that needs to be lubed in the linkage system, or if it some know problem about this.
Winter is getting closer here and it will probably put more strain to the wiper system, so i just thought i would check it out before it became a real problem.

I think there is supposed to be a slight hesitation before it drops down again.

2 or 3 seconds seems way to long of a pause. I'm sure someone else here will have a better response for you. Sorry i can't help you out.

If your talking about when you turn your wipers off...
Mine delays about 3/4th of a sec before returning down... but
only when the wipers are set for normal... the winter setting
doesn't pause at all when i turn em off.

Same for me. Also doesn't hesitate while in intermittent mode.

It's as though it has to stop and adjust before it can park.
