The supply to the motor is usually OK but it is worth checking the earths, however you'd normally have problems in other circuits like the wipers.
You can dismantle the regulator, give it a good clean and grease up the worm drive. This is often a problem. The motors do get tired and the teeth on the drive cog wear badly & often corrode causing windows that stick at the bottom or part way. Also the switches can cause problems, try swapping them round to see if there is any improvement.

I'd suggest spraying plenty of WD40 over the wiper spindles/linkages etc. GTA wipers are prone to seizing & believe me you don't want to go down that route. I think there's a post in the old forum regarding wiper motor problems.
