Angry Windshield wipers banging away :(

Any of you suffering this?

When the windshield speed setting is on intermittent or low, they are fine. Switching it to high, they travel an extra 3/8" lower and hit the plastic/rubber stop. To keep it from hitting, I've had to adjust the height of the arms so now it is visible above the hood line.

yes, my 99 LS does the same exact thing. I just don't use the High setting often, as I don't like the blads sticking out of the hood.

I was fine until the windshield was replaced...I'm going to have to play with it a bit. Frustrating...because on most other cars, it is easy...this one, I have to account for that wee bit extra travel when on high.
