Need rubber hood adjuster

I need the screw in rubber bumper/adjuster that goes at the center rear of the hood to keep the wiper arm from rubbing it. It looks like the ones at the front, but smaller.

My bet is that most cars don't have that darned thing. I tried one but it made no difference whatsoever in my car.

It does work on my car, only problem is mine is broke and I can't screw it out enough. I've got to have one because my pass side wiper arm rubs my hood.


Manta, that looks pretty torn up like mine but I'll give it a try. I'll PM you.

Interesting. Even without the piece, I have plenty of clearance. Are you certain that the wiper itself is positioned correctly on the arm?

Thanks


James & Manta, it's almost like my hood sags too much in the middle (maybe somebody sat on it at some point), it rubs right where my finger is pointing. That rubber piece pretty much fixes it though.

Re: Need rubber hood adjuster

That piece is for your hood,I checked mine and the wipers have nothing to do with that piece.I see you got the one from J Chicago then I'll not mail this one.
