If your wipers are adjusted for the correct sweep......
When turned off they should stop with the top of the blade on the "spot" indicators located on the OEM windshields....one on the lower passenger side, for the passenger wiper....one just off low center for the drivers side.
My wipers do not touch any part of the hood.

I haven't noticed any rubbing and my wipers clear my hood just fine. For the hell of it I did a quick check of the gaps. Roughly 3/4" clearance on the passenger side and 1/4" on the drivers side. If your wipers rub your hood then you have a problem.

That's it I have had enough....I have a problem I guess...car is going back tomorrow......................
Well my wipers as well as the other guys here must have our wipers misaligned...NHHHR...I'd check yours...I noticed this at the dealer and checked out your HHR (thought it touched) and on the Imp Blue one...the Imp Blue one did not touch
I'm guessing this can be adjusted byt the dealer or is it a DIY?
