Posting this here in general section as the same problem has been on my 1996 EF sedan, 2003 BA wagon and now my 2016 SZ Territory.
How can this never have been corrected by Ford Aust? I am a great fan, but when something hasn't been fixed in over 20 years of production, I have to shake my head. I am sure many others have experienced this annoying corrosion. I am referring to the corrosion on the lower wiper arms, the paint (or powder coat) lifting with severe corrosion of the alloy blade arm. Photo explains. I guess the fix is to remove the arm, grind down the corroded area, and repaint. I am genuinely surprised this has already occurred on a 3 year old car, in a normal suburban environment in Perth, not near the ocean or any industrial area. (Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I couldn't find it).
