My C3 wipers work fine but catch on the hood when turned on and will not of course work. Is there an easy adjustment on the hood or wiper arm to allow clearance?

Re: C3 wiper arm catching on hood how to fix?
Hi Micheal !!
Welcome to the NCRS board. Based on your profile, I assume the car you are working on is an 82. The first culprit I look for in these cases is an aftermarket blade that interferes with the hood. They just plain don't fit.
Has this issue just started for you or have you recently replaced the blades ??Tom Hendricks

Re: C3 wiper arm catching on hood how to fix?
Thanks Tom, you know after I wrote this I thought about that, when I bought the 82, I put new style blades on it, the car was never driven in rain until recently so that could be the problem. I was also thinking that the blades could be going past the original stop point and dropping below the windshield but there should be a mechanical stop there so thats probably not it. Do you know of any web sites that sell OEM spec wiper blades for Vettes?- Top

'73-'82 Corvettes cannot use most 'regular' profile wiper blades or holders for the reason you've discovered.
Corvette Central sells blades that are low enough to clear the hood edge.- Top
