Assume the photo is your wiper arm? It's the Toyota standard I'm afraid for wiper arm corrosion. I would not have expected that to start showing on 2013 plate though. Perhaps another 2-3 year. Do you have your car outside not garaged or live by the coast. The CT Wiper arms will not be cheap.last year I priced up arms for a Toyota I had 2010 model and they were over 100 each. If they are left the black top coat will start flaking away and they go white. I did a quick repair job on the ones I had. Took them off, rubbed it all down with wet and dry till they stopped flaking.Then hammerited with a brush smooth matt black. I had to put a few coats of it on though. It showed up differently when it dried to the long part of the wiper arm so I figured to paint those as well. It looked OK when I finished them and I figured would last a few more year. It wasn't perfect but they were much easier to live with as no awful paint flaking. I also kind of stopped looking at them as eyes were not drawn to them as they were not white anymore. Let me know if you price them on your CT. Mines a 2014 model and has no signs of any of that yet.

Hi Cadman, yes the car is left out all the time, but not near seafront, Ive got an extended warranty, so talking to my dealer, will let you know the outcome.

Good luck, I suspect the outcome will be down to dealer pushing it through for you and the warranty accepting the claim. 

From what I believe, The wiper arms are not listed as an excluded part nor do the form part of the bodywork/paint which is excluded. 

 

From my experiences the toyota, lexus cover is A1. Keep us posted on the outcome.
