Basically, the shafts the the wipers are mounted on have seized in the long bushes that they go through. Repair involves removing the wiper units, dismantling them, cleaning up, greasing and reassembly.
All fairly straightforward and you'll find all the info you need if you use the forum search function.
Ignore the cowboys who tell you to devalue your car by removing them.

Every fifth time the windscreen washers are used , when the lights are on.
