Some suggestions:
1. Change the packing grease. After 30+ years, this stuff gets mighty
thick, if not downright solid. I'm gonna do this myself one of
these days.
2. Replace those wimpy wiper arms with the two-section hinge type with
the little springs in them. This will increase the blade pressure
on the windshield.
3. Item 2 may load the motor and slow the blades down a bit. This can
be overcome somewhat by using the next smaller size blades.
or...
Don't drive your LBC in the rain. That's what Japanese econoboxes are
for.
