Just noticed that the rear wiper assembly on my car is very badly rusted.
Car is 2 years old, so surprised at level of rust. The paint is almost all gone
or bubbling! This is not immediately obvious as the rear wiper has a plastic
cover over the metal frame but it looks like a 10 year old part rather than
2 year old one. Anyone else had this problem? 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

I've noticed this on my 7 year old RRS, but a 2 year old one shouldnt suffer this surely? RRS HSE TDV6 Autobiography

I know what LR's official line will be

Excessive salt on the roads

Real reason

Cheaper parts mean more proffit

my rear is ok (phnarr, phnarr!) but the front ones are bubbling badly at the point where it is rivited. i am expecting the trim at the bottom of the door windows to go, as the disco 2 was bad for bubbling there! MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

Blimey, and yours is about the same age as mine! My previous RRS (2007) never had any signs of this. Suspect, as mentioned by awd, that it's a sign of cheaper parts being used.... Not good on such an expensive car! 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Is it part of the body or a consumable? LR will no doubt refuse it under warranty!

I'm sure L/R have enough loopholes here to get out of
