Mine does the same, I'm currently wondering whether there's something, anything I can do to the wing to change the shape of it. Of course it's rolled to the max, but it still catches. Very annoying.

hmmm My old saph used to do this like a bitch, think it could be a common problem with them, My new saph I bought had rolled arches, they have never scraped once.
