Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
the biggest con and why I am leaning to paint, is I think they will mark fairly easy with any use of the backseats/storage and painting is likely the most robust.
Leading evidence: 'most robust' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'most robust' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean ) they would look much better' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
I'll bet without even prepping the surface (other than cleaning) they would look MUCH better.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Sir996, I have the same issue so curious to the solution you find. the 3 solutions I have found is as follows, 1) paint- 2) plastic dip- 3) vinyl wrap. Each have pro's and cons. the biggest con and why I am leaning to paint, is I think they will mark fairly easy with any use of the backseats/storage and painting is likely the most robust. With Vinyl wrap a carbon look could be obtained if that's your thing.
Any paint shop could do a nice job on those. If they are soft touch plastic there are YouTube videos on how to remove the soft touch coating from the plastic prior to paint.
Who the hell is sitting in your back seats and doing all that sh*t?
Ah, it was received that way. Previous owner had a bratty kid that through tantrums back there.
Why not wrap it in vinyl in a color that closely matches your paint? Would look perfect and maintain the originality if anyone ever wanted to remove it. For a pro that is an easy job.
Hey Siri - what did you end up doing? I'm also in Australia with the same problem. I got a pretty huge quote for wrapping the seats but maybe have to go that way....mine are pretty messed up!

Hi Phil ,
Quick answer is nothing yet. I have however collected several threads and youtube info to create an action in the future which will go with the interior grand plan.
It looks as though , paint is the cheapest and most robust.... not entirely sure yet - I do have an Alcantara thought as well - but haven't really progressed that.
Where about are you in AUS - im Sydney are on PFA site as 01CFOR - all the best Shane
Please post links of your list of threads and YouTube vids. My car's PO also had 2 bratty kids. See the results! Wrapping in black or carbon fiber would work for me. Rhino lining in black seems smart too, very robust.
Thanks all.
Mine are much more trashed including one of the pockets being pulled a bit off....so going to remove the pockets entirely and have them painted I think. probably just before I sell it as I carry stuff in the back and they are easily damaged.
Shane, I'm in Sydney too (eastern suburbs) - but not really on any forums here or anything.
Phil
