I will be checking into those.  The current hood has some "custom" holes cut out of the top, so it is being replaced.  I have a replacement hood ready to go on, hopefully it clears, but I have a good source here in case it doesn't.  I had to do some custom modification myself to get it to clear.  :)

Put the "new" hood on and the arm still hits.  I will be checking into the wiper arm being too arched and see what adjustments can be done there.

I made an adjustment to the arch and now it clears, but the arm that holds the windshield wipe hose barely hits.  Needs more adjustment...
