While we're talking wipers has anybody ever lubed a 201 wiper? When
its real cold out the wiper on my '85 190D gets real sluggish. This
car has the sliding monowiper, I can't remember the specifc term,
it goes in and out during its travel.
I'm thinking I'll drip some ATF into the motor and lube all the
linkages too. What should I lube the linkages with? I've got some
sunroof grease hanging around...

I'm having the same problem with the same item in a 190D also. I'm
awaiting a used set-up. I already purchased a used assy and it is
only slightly better than the original. My wipers do not function
unless there is water on the windshield and I give it a push with my
hand. One motor must have a bad gear box or clutch. I have one set-up
torn apart and almost every part of it is shot.
I recall something like 4 parts that are required to fix it but so
far nobody has come forth with the info. I hope the next one at least
gives me something to work with. I won't mind if I have to combine
parts from all 3 to make one go. Meanwhile, Rain-X is my best friend.
