Really? Surely Land Rover will have to change the material being used. For a car that’s marketed as a go anywhere vehicle I would have thought they would have tested the fabrics being used. This surely isn’t acceptable given the vehicles price point. Test vehicles would have picked up on this issue for sure. MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER

I had a loaner 110 with the acorn interior, and the sides of the seats looked just like the pictures above. Common problem it seems. The salesman said you should order full leather, although I never saw that on the configurator

It looks exactly same problem as we had with the original D3 cloth seats. I had a D3 S it had multiple seat base covers replaced under warranty due to staining.
We have a BMW with vegan interior the seats show water stains too. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE RR MY23 HSE PHEV D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold D4 MY12 HSE - Gone D3 MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten |

I’ll be putting seat covers on mine, always had them on my Discos as they were cloth seats. I think Inka used to do the seat covers for LR.
Exmoor ones look good, will have a look at them if available by the time my 90 arrives. |

Would I be right in assuming that you can't have seat covers with the cooled seats? Or does the ventilation come from the seat back? Which would mean that you could use a cover on the seat? MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER

I spoke to Exmoor trim a few weeks back, he is making new Defender seat covers but they won’t be available until sometime in the new year. |

I too suffered from the water marks on the cloth part of the seat:

Seats were still wet when the photo was taken...will grab a better photo in the morning.

had mine paint corrected, xpel PPF and xpel ceramic coat on top literally within weeks of taking delivery, a must if you are going off the beaten track to protect against all those nasty bush stripes.

When mine had the ceramic coating done after 3 weeks ownership the detailer applying the coating commented that mine had a lot few paint defects than they usually see on LR vehicles, even after it had been off roadbed a couple of times paint swirls on gloss black trim were a lots less than usual on a new car.
