Windshield wiper housing has sun damage

[Jus-T]

Hello, I have sun damage to the black area where the windshield wipers connect to the hood. I have a 2018 JLRU with 20k miles. I’m about to hit my 2 year mark, is this covered by the warranty? If not, does anyone know where I can find a new replacement part? So far, it’s the only part that is fading. I have been unable to find any information about this. I appreciate any help with this, thanks!

Not covered by warranty most likely. The only place to replace that part is OEM through dealership or online dealer part source.
Or you could simply use products like 303 protectant or Chemical Guys Black on Black that will make it like new without replacing it.

Thank you for your reply. I figured it wasn’t covered, but I couldn’t find an answer. I’ve been using 303 on my Jeep since I got it. That’s why I was surprised to have this issue, at least all of my other plastic parts are good to go. I’ll give the chemical guys a shot.

Thanks you for your reply. I have been parking in my driveway for the last two years, and that always worried me. It’s weird to me that it’s only one part, the others look brand new. I’m moving into a house with a three car garage and I’ll finally be able to park in the garage, I’ll probably replace the part when I move.

Looks like this is it. Verify with parts department advisor.

Thank you for your reply! I’m definitely looking into it.

I’m having a similar issue with only that one part having sun damage. I was thinking maybe heat venting from the engine could be increasing the wear.
