Hi Turfite,
A couple of things.
The parts in the die cast case come apart easily, just take a photo before dismantling or keep one motor intact as a pattern to reassemble when cleaned and greased.

Your reference to a plastic cover has me stumped.
The shaft that the magnet sits on and has a worm drive at the end comes out of a circular metal case containing the windings and brushes of the electric motor.
I did not have to disturb mine so am not able to comment.
Sorry I would like to help, you could run it without the wipers and if the movement is jerky then maybe the electric motor is failing.

Andy.
If it can happen it will.
