Wiper arm rubbing hood

Well, like the title says, my passenger side wiper arm when the wipers are on, is rubbing onthe hood so much, that it actually lifts it each time it goes fully up and down. I thought it was just my hood shaking from the cold idle, but then I noticed it was in sync with the wipers. How can I lift the back of the hood to make this stop. The hood looks like it's sitting a little low anyway judging from the fender lines. Thanks in advance.

Is it a fiberglass hood? My wipers rubbed on my Harwood hood until I trimmed the lip down.
