All I did was show Stillwell BMW & asked them to reposition the wiper blade & touch up the chip. No, not good enough, they replaced the wiper as well because it had a little dent & mark on it.
All is good now. When I park the wipers in the lift off position & pull the driver's arm back off the window for washing, there is ample gap between it and the edge of the hood.

If I'm reading you correctly, your wiper arms can now be raised off glass when they are in the parked (off) position? If so, this has been one of my peeves with this car. So annoying that the wipers tuck underneath the hood so when I wash car I need to first move wipers so I can raise them and clean underneath.
FWIW, you wouldn't have to worry much about the hood rusting. Its Aluminum.
