Every time I have to change my wiper blades, the wiper arms scrape on the hood, therefor scraping paint off & exposing the bare metal. This is bound to start causing rust with winter road salts, & exposure to the elements which in turn will rust out the hood, forcing an eventual replacement, or damage to the vehicle while driving.

With the redesign, they failed to give the wipers enough space to lift up, and with people having forced it, it has chipped the paint on the edge of the hood down to the metal. And with road salt will no doubt start to rust eventually if not repaired or lubricated.
