Take the wiper mechanism off the car , take it apart , clean and grease the pivots ( shaft where the wiper arms are bolted to ) .

I did it on my 00 ZX3 , I did it on another Focus ( ZX4 ) and now I have to do it on my 03 ZX3.

There is nothing wrong with the motor , the shafts are seizing into the holders , if you don't do it now it will cost you a Wiper Motor and you'll still have the same problem.
