as you have just bought the car i would complain , they will probably just change them for you as a good will gesture , i think even if a bulb blows in the first 3 months of owner ship garages are obliged to change it foc.
If they weren't so greedy I would have bought an orange one from them but this red one was 2.5k cheaper with the same options, age and miles.
Well if there is a warranty obligation for x months or x miles then I think they should. Any idea how much a new pair is ? I might just buy a new pair

Careful - the cost may cripple you
Honestly Nath - just buy a new set, going back to any dealer for free wipers under warranty is extraction of urine - they're disposable parts, service items .. consumables .. call them what you will.
I have "extracted the urine" with my company car. And was told by said dealer that with Vauxhall that within the first 6 months or 6k miles that they can and will replace wipers, bulbs, top up fluids, check and adjust wheel bolt torque, check and adjust tyre pressures all for free.
I was just asking if Seat do this kind of customer service?
My previous 4 Seats and my dad's previous 3 seats have never needed any of this "customer service" before buy this one I have now does

I know it's a good case of look after the pennies ..... etc etc ad nauseum but i'd just feel a bit of a cheapskate tbh - and i'd rather have aero wiper anyway rather than free OE guff 
Yeah, you're prob right. I have sold a load of goodies from the old MK4 Ibiza and I have 225 quid in my paypal account.
I'm going to collect my 2008 cupra black grill and front flaps tomorrow so If they have a pair in stock I will just buy them and not look like a pikey
Prob get a touch up paint thingy too.
I think the mk2 leon OEM wipers are the aero ones anyway aren't they?
I have cleaned them BTW

Not sure, still happily ensconced in a Mk1
With Aero wipers though, they do work a lot better! Actually the first thing i'd do is get the windsreen stupidly clean ( a lot of glass polish) and then rain-x it properly - doesn't matter about wipers then 
New pair of front wipers fitted today under warranty
They said that if the car is under 6 months old and under 6k miles it's fine.

I'd clean the blades & screen 1st.
Use some fairy liquid on a damp sponge & rinse well after, that will stripp any traffic film, or cheap glass cleaner that may be on the glass.

i wouldnt go any where near my car with washing up liquid , it will ruin your paintwork.
just use neat vinegar on a cloth for your wiper blades will make them like new
