Attn: ASCD SS-style hood owners, hood problem

Yeah guys, I just noticed after driving in the rain for the first time that that my wipers will not come up, because they are getting caught on my SS hood. I talked to a guy at the body shop and he said I would have to remove some of the back part of the cowl, or the part you can see while driving. I don't want to cut up my hood so I was wondering what some of you guys did to get your wipers to work without butchering your $450+ hood? Are there modified wipers I can purchase and if so where can I get them?

I never had a problem with that. But before I put the hood on, I cut out the rear cowl open,so it isn't closed anymore.This will help let the hot air escape while sitting in traffic or at a light,etc. Another guy in our club had an SS hood and didn't have any problems either. He left his just the way he got it.

I'll keep that in mind and I may consider doing that this spring, but for now maybe I'll just try to reinstall the hood. Thanks.
