Still no luck with the Archives of the list but the wipers work better now,
after searching the Samba Archives and (Scott?) Mostly just oiling the
wiper posts.  The Bentley has a good drawing and explanation on the
system...in my case, the motor was working, I could tell when I wasn't
heading into a Gorge headwind, but the wipers weren't moving much faster,
so I re-assembled the wipers at the pivots after using a penetrating oil
and careful torque
Next time the dash has to come out I'll lube the rest of the linkages up
under there
