Default Wipers hitting hood

On my 1990 vert, the wipers, when in the parked position, touch the underside of the hood. They touch just enough to scratch a little paint off. Anyone else have this problem? If so, what did you do to correct?

Thanks,
David

Put correct wipers on the car. Sounds like the ones you have on don't have a low enough profile for the vette even though they mount to the arms.
