with the wipers parked, I use a flat piece of wood or plastic and lay it flat on the black plastic cover at bottom of windshield. Then use a large screwdriver just under the wiper arm opposite the arm itself to pry it up and it should pop right off. They do make a special tool for it if you want to spend the money. Make sure you just catch the very edge, you dont want to pull off the toothed mount.
All you need to do to adjust the hood is loosen the bolts at the front edge and move the hood slightly. Do only one side at a time. Its trial and error, you just keep moving and tightening until you have each side where you want it. There are adjustments to raise or lower the front edge, and to move it toward or away from the bumper cover. (TIP- a small movement makes a big difference)
