My misses' car has a problem with the front wipers, there hitting the window piller coming up and then hitting the bonnet on the way down. The paint on the bonnet has started to chip

Its an 08 with 34k miles and the warranty has just run out as the last service was done at a mates garage and not the dealership....

Heard this is a common fault with these models does anyone think its worthwhile contacting the dealership?? Sorry for the essay
