Paint is peeling off Both Wiper Arms

[FastMitch]

Went in for a Service and noted to them that the Paint is peeling off Both Wiper Arms.

Even though the Tiguan is still under warranty, they said its normal wear and wouldn't be covered under warranty.
Is this correct??

Not something I would die in a ditch over. I'd remove them, prep, and give them a coat of nice satin two pack (which you can get in a rattle can these days). They were probably powder coated from the factory, and a lot of that stuff is porous - could be a reaction with an additive.

Is it correct that they are not covered under warranty as they are wear and tear?

Id say its wear and tear.

I see this normally on cars 10+ years old. Never had this happen before with paint peeling on a car 3.5 years old.

Body paint has a defined warranty doubt wiper arms would have. As said get the spraycan out only a 30 min job to sand them off and spray them. Its all these mods you have done, has upset the thermetic rhythm of the arms and caused the paint to flake.
