I moves the passenger side arm down to the correct position no problem. But when I moved the driver's side arm down, I could not close the hood without scraping it on the wiper arm. I moved the wiper arm until I could just close the hood (which was back where it started) and then tested the wipers, now the DS wiper goes off the windshield over the side of the car and scrapes the trim on that side. I can't win! I took the arm off and inspected it, it does not appear damaged or warped (other than paint scraped from the hood) so what is wrong? Thanks in advance... PS other than this wiper arm thing, I am so pleased with this car. It is so fun and zippy, and looks very nice. Once it is waxed I will post some pics.
