Has anyone else had this problem? The windshield wiper is not stopping where it should and is smashing into the hood.. Dealer already said it would cost 300+ to fix it.. Anyone else have a simple solution for this? Thanks, All help would be appreciated.

 

It might be simple... Loosen the nut at the pivot of the wiper. Wiggle & pull the wiper until it comes loose. Reposition the wiper & tighten the nut.

If that doesn't work it could get expensive like the dealer said. If they've actually looked at your car maybe they're right.

I suspect they're looking at the Windshield Wiper transmission Assembly (Number #8 in the linked Illustration).

Honda's wholesale price ($109.30) is NOT what they'd charge you (more likely $145.00) Plus Labor, Tax and the never mentioned "Don't expect him back" Fee.
This leaves $155.00 towards the Labor charge. At $70.00/hour, that computes to a little over 2.1 hours to do the job.
At that price, I'd shut my mouth and have them do the job. If it's what I think it is; they won't be able to come near completeing the job by that amount of time.
