    Really odd problem with my wipers

    When I have my wipers on(as it is, I have to adjust the hood forward so that the wipers clear the hood. Right now, I have to pop the hood with the wipers on so that they clear the hood. It's a PITA.) and they make contact with the windshield trim, I can feel it in the pedals. It's the weirdest thing. I don't know WTF it could be.

      Uh, no lol. I would hope the frame isn't bent. If it is. it's not noticeable when you look at it.

        Is your hood farther back than the fenders? I only had this problem with those ricerific double blade wipers.

          My wipers are Michelins. Last I looked, they're not overly big. I'm just wondering why the hell I feel the wiper contact the windshield trim through the pedals.

            Could be the wiper arms are bent or the transmission is sloppy enough that it allows the wiper arms to "arch" a little. Or the front end got whacked and the header panel is pushed back a little, making the hood be set farther back in order to look right.

              The car did get whacked in 2k4. I just haven't had the time or money to procure, prep, and paint 2 new fenders and a new header panel.
