Repairing the rear of the front seats...

My rear passengers (children!!) have scuffed the rear of my front seats badly.

I can clean them up, but the actual rubber coating has been worn away, it looks really tatty Sad

Does anyone know how hard it is to replace these? Is it a part that can be ordered? Alternatively I was thinking of taking them off (if possible) and having them re trimmed in something more durable (leather perhaps).

Does this bother anyone else, or is it just me!

Cheers,
Neil

Long shot here - try claiming on your warranty - obviously not up to day to day normal family wear and tear...............

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Why is it that lots of the plastic trim on the Evoque seems to have some sort of coating/paint on it. Don't most manufacturers mould the parts in the colour of plastic they want?
These parts don't seem to be up to day to day wear and tear

I've spoken to LR customer care today and emailed them the photos. I think it would do good if I could cite more examples.

Has this happened to anyone else? It would be great to hear if so.

Thanks

Not good, though I can assure you leather is not at all suitable to this application.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Yes the rear of the front seats do scratch easy. On my Evoque coupe there are a number of scratches on the drivers seat back caused by fitting my briefcase with external buckles into the rear foot well behind the seat. I do this carefully but I still can't avoid scratching the seat back.

I also have some scratches there. I called my dealer and the back part of the front seat can be ordered separately. If I remember correctly it's about 100€/piece.
