Wiper hits the windshield edge
Raining today and the driver side wiper sporadically hits the frame of the car; there's a dull thunk when it happens. Anyone experience this?
It mostly happens when I'm stopped or driving slowly (so intermittent wiper speed).

They replaced the wiper arm and "made adjustments". In case it matters, mine was doing it from day 1. Regardless, I'd still take it in to have the dealer check it out. It may be obvious but I didn't like the fact the wiper blade was probably damaging itself by hitting the frame. The frame itself may have eventually gotten scratched. And it was plain old annoying.

So, it is plastic wiper blade hitting black plastic trim. Still annoying AF.
