Hi, have done about 500 miles now, mostly in the rain, and I find the wipers very noisy/clunky. Intermittently there is also a bit of a grating noise. I have checked the blades and wipers and nothing untowards is coming in contact with the screen. I have also thoroughly cleaned the screen but this made no difference.
Anyone else had this problem? I don't want the hassle og going back to the dealers just yet. Apart from this, I absolutely love this car!

The wiper blades can be damaged when the protective covering is removed by dealers during PDI. I suspect that this may be what has happened to yours.
Get them changed under warranty.

I have to say that even with new blades just fitted, my wipers are still juddery. It seems to be the right hand (drivers) wiper that judders, at the end of the blade when it approaches the top right hand corner of the screen.
My theory is that the curve of the screen decreases the angle of the blade to screen at the top of the stroke, causing the blade to judder.
I suspect that a slight twist on the arm to increase the angle slightly may help, but its always raining when I notice it, so I have not tried it yet

Could be contaminants left on the screen - wax etc
I have used Autoglym Glass Polish which really cleans the screen well and helps with wiper judder.
