I currently own a 2022 Seat Leon. Which I have owned since brand new. I have noticed there is a crack in the driver side headlight. To me the crack is coming from inside the wing and out but the dealerships are saying something has hit the wing.
The headlight is filling up with condensation.

The car has been to multiple dealers but they keep on saying there is nothing they can do and I have pay over £200.00 to have it replaced. To me it looks like a stress crack from the wing but the dealership is saying it’s not there issue. Customer services are saying we can only go on what the dealerships say.

You can clearly see the crack is coming from the inside but the dealers don’t want to know.

Any one had this issue?

The wing isn't fixed to the headlight, if you remove the front bumper the headlight can be removed separately and the lens isn't bolted or screwed in place to the car, unlike the rear lights which are and do crack.

A stress crack on the headlight is very unlikely to be a production fault, I can't see how it would be caused.
 
I think it could be the weight of the wing sitting on the light. If you see the crack it starts from inside and is coming out. Someone on eBay has put the same headlight with the crack in the same location.

I have the same problem, can you explain a little bit how it comes apart? I want to change the lens myself as whole new light is very expensive.
 
Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately can not buy just the lens you have to buy the entire unit. I this same arguement with SEAT Derby. Advising how can I crack this in a specific area. All they wanted to do was blame me for everything. It was my fault and I had caused it. When I was swapping the car in Leicester told me this is common fault and they know about it. But SEAT Derby refused to listen to me and said there is nothing they can do.
