Adjusting th Hood?
When my drivers side windshield wiper goes down, it sticks under the hood. How do you adjust the hood to keep it from hitting?

First check the wiper blade. Many of the replacements are to tall to fit under the hood, and I've had a lot of problems finding the right one.

also check the wiper arm. mine was bent causing it to hit the hood and jump/skip across the windshield.

If the fender lines line up well, look to the wiper setup for the problem.
If the hood needs to be adjusted unscrew a little one of the pointy things with the spring around it.
