I had a similar problem with my mono-blad wiper.

The cover snaps off real easily, and just needs to be lubed. I just used some sylicon spray, but I think a grease (preferabely MBenz grease) would be the right way to go.

I don't recall how to snap off the covering, but it's fairly simple.
There are instructions how to do this somewhere in the Archives. Use the SEARCH function, and type in "wiper lube" or 'slow wiper' etc, etc; many results and info should come up.

Good luck!
