Default rear wiper..moves slow, gets stuck, have to move by hand

Hi guys..I'm having some issues with the rear wiper. When i turn it on, it moves quite slow and tends to stop after 1 or 2 sweeps. If i try to move it along by hand it will move slowly. If i let go again it will get stuck and stop. What can i do? is it a motor going bad? a fuse or relay to check? is there any type of lubrification that can be done?
thanks

The motor could be going bad. You might also want to remove the panel and make sure the motor is attached properly.

The tailgate trim panel has to come off. The worse part is getting the trim off from around the inner handle if your car has it. The rest is just clips holding the panel on.

You would pull the top straight out first then slide the panel towards the bottom of the hatch to get the other clips loose. But alot of times the clips break as well.

I always get the top loose first then look in with a flashlight and use a long straight screwdriver and push the tabs in for the trim ring for the inner handle and pop the trim loose and remove the panel.
