Driver side windshield wiper arm issue?

[Berzerker]

Where do we get these paint pens? How much?

Confirming in-stock at multiple dealers in my area. Was cheap, <$20. Just give the parts person the VIN and they'll grab the right thing.

How about putting 3M film on section of wiper arm that hits bonnet? Should stop scratching?

Yes, or this, if that will help. Wondering which will be better... Film on wipers in that place will be less affected to be damaged by high pressure water during car wash. And less noticeable (if you not covering whole hood).

Just thinking outside the box.....how about door edge guards?

I just purchased a new 2020 GT2. They have not corrected this design flaw. I'm having a clear bra added soon. I'll have them add a strip to protect the hood edge.

Which flaw?

Are you implying this was an oversight? It's documented in the owners manual, and the Stinger is certainly not the only vehicle with wipers recessed below the engine cover. It's called "aerodynamics"..

Agree with @eflyguy it's not a flaw. It's a design feature that comes with this inconvenience. Just take the PPF all the way back to and around the trailing edge of the hood; then you never have to worry about your paint again. But, if you get a less than attentive attendant at a service station who goes to clean your windshield, you could easily get scuffed PPF (happened to me in Oregon, where they don't let you pump your own gas).

How would you go about getting it fixe fixed ? Is this something I can easily fix and prevent from rusting myself, or do I need to hire someone to reseal that small area?

Just noticed the same issue on my 2018 stinger that I got only a month ago.

I just got my 2019 pearl white GT2 used. Fortunately, it appears that no one previously tried to lift the wipers, or they knew the proper parking procedure because there are no chips or scratches on the hood lip.
The main thin I have to remember to do in the winter because I do get freezing temps and snow on occasion is to park them BEFORE it snows or freezes.
