What causes a squeak in the windshield wiper motor not the blades?

Mine does the same thing..it's coming from the motor/drive assembly. I disassembled it and lubed the heck out of it with white lithium grease but it still squeaks. The motor is bolted to the firewall on the passenger side. When I get a moment, I will attempt the repair a second time. My wife and I were on a long trip recently and the wipers (I thought) started to squeak extremely loudly. I replaced the wipers, not even thinking it could be something else, and the noise still persisted. When we got home I lifted both wipers from the windshield (should have done this in the first place) and the noise was still present. It turns out the noise is coming from the nylon/plastic pivot mount that the wiper arm is connected to. The shaft that is inside this mount connects the main drive arm linkage to the wiper arm. I too have tried to lube this point but it is extremely difficult to get lube into. If you can pull up on the bottom of the pivot assembly (as if trying to push the shaft out of the mount) it will open a small gap into which you can just barely get some lube into.
