My monowiper had been slowing down as of late and had momentarily stopped several times during its wipe. I removed the wiper and its' articulated arms last night. It took the whole thing apart, removed the old grease and regreased the interior mechanism iand reinstalled the system. It is SOOOO much smoother now. And boy does it go when it is on high speed.

The only thing is, I must have not gotten the alignment correct when repressing the arm onto the wiper assembly because the action goes too far down the driver side and returns back up the window a couple of inches before stopping. I am going to have to think this through and figure out which way I need to adjust the arm on the splined gear.
