Windsheild wiper contacting hood

[gtorpedo]

I noticed this today - passenger side wiper is making contact with the hood. The pictures below should be pretty self explanatory, not sure if anyone has had similar issues??

Wow that is a lot of contact. I would have the dealer fix it and the hood.

Yea its bad. Only paint damage appears under the hood so its not visible with the hood closed. I already set up an appt with the dealer. Not thrilled.

Took the car to the dealer today. One of the bolts holding down the wiper arm came loose causing the clearance issue. A new arm is on order and the paint on the underside of the hood will be fixed.
