Wiper arm very close to hood

For a 2011 model.

I’ve just noticed that the wiper arm on the driver’s side (LHD) is very close to the edge of the hood. It’s almost touching. Is this normal?

Thanks

Thanks. I checked another XF at a dealer over the weekend just to confirm that my situation was not normal. I've now got myself a workshop manual and can see how I need to proceed.

This is a common problem on Saabs. Ends up being a worn windshield wiper regulator.
