JCW sports seat bolsters fading......
I have the charcoal fabric red stitched sport seats and observed the left bolster of the driver seat is fading.
I tried to clean but it stays the same.
It seems like the fabric has some issues and doesn't stay stretched on the bolster foam.
For sure I will ask for replacement at the next service schedule.

I had previous leather seats that have done the same.

Not fade from sun , but wear from in / out. Yea, my leather seats will do that. My leatherette held up much better. The Cloth seat can do that, sometimes you will get some burrs from the cloth from pulling at jeans.

Is something can be done fix it? I thought about steam cleaning.

The Steam clean will loosen up the fibers and take the sheen off, about the only thing you can do. One other thing people use if the fabric cleaner and repellent from scotch guard, keeps the fabric new and smooth so it will not get a sheen, And also if you have those burrs , use a jacket / cloth burr cleaner tool , think the cleaners carry those and online.
Otherwise you can set down a cloth towel on the seats, i know allot of car show guys do that before they go to the car show.

I have one of these very small comb tool to remove these burrs on expensive wool sweaters and they are very hard to find. Johann or Michaels are the only hobby stores you can find them.
I will try and see. I believe it may work.

Yep, thats the one, i have an older one ( battery powered) that blade spins through a mesh grille and picks up the burrs. Worked on my last R56 that had cloth stitch seats, if you see there is a snag , dont use it. Might pull the fabric. Just get a very small scissor and trim the loose end. Your seats are new so i dont think you will have that snag issue.
