That's the first thing I noticed when we bought our '01.
It is a very common issue. What a dumb design. But obviously it did not come from the factory like that.

Rumors have it that the arm gets bent by trying to clear snow with the wipers.
I've heard that you can possibly bend it back. I just put light pressure on the arm when opening / closing the hood. It is kind of awkward, but it does keep it from rubbing.

Also heard that installing a new arm will fix it. I haven't done that. Too cheap! I'll just keep pushing it instead. It does get on my nerves though.
