And here I thought that I was "THE only careless bafoon" that this happened too. Mine not nearly as bad as Ruiner's. Ouch!!! Thanks for the zip tie "fix." Have to wonder about PAGs engineering thought on this one. Support the dealer body shops?
regards,
Steve

I'm thinking about carving my name in the 1/4 panel before it gets painted...

Brandon - My wiper scratches were as bad as yours. Once you get it fixed, and the wiper removed, you'll forget it ever happened.

Thanks. I wish I had known about this trick before I scratched mine. #*^@$%.
I'm going to zip-tie the damn arm tonight.
I'm going to recommend my Porsche dealer zip-tie every 911 they sell too.

Oh yeah, I was supposed to call them. I highly doubt that they will say or do anything. It is my fault, after all. Maybe I should drive up to their parking deck and let them look at it in horror!

go to their lot, raise the wiper arm on their car and drop it by accident.

Thats exactly what I did, no problems at all.
