Default Windshield wipers sticking on hood

Hello I have a 93 c4 corvette. I’ve not had it very long and noticed the windshield wipers are getting caught on the hood. Does anyone have any recommended wipers that fits? Thanks!

I went thru the same issue on my 94. The only blades I found that fit are Rainx Expert Fit C-20-4. I got them at Walmart. They fit perfectly under the hood.

I'm pretty sure the size of the pin on the wiper arm was changed in 95 so those may not fit a 93.

You might be right. When searching "1993 corvette closeout" it shows a different number. Same price. Dan

If it started rubbing on the hood only recently and it didn't before then I would check your wiper arms where they attach to the splined shaft. The spring on the wiper arms is pretty strong and over the years the arm can ride up on the splined shaft bending the clip that holds them on then allowing the arm to hit the hood.
