I'm with Snoopy. Mine to not touch the hood when raised, and I have no paint marks on the edge of the hood.

My wipers do not touch any part of the hood.
I only just noticed the indicators on the windshield this past weekend. My wipers line up perfectly with them and do not touch the hood in any way when up either.

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?

it's a DIY, 15mm socket, open hood, remove plastic cap from bottom of wiper arm, loosen and adjust...

I am going to check mine in the morning just to make sure. Goose the dealer should be able to adjust them with no problems, should be a relatively quick fix.
