Help please

Something is off (color) on the driver side seat. I noticed it slightly when I was at the dealership but did not pay attention because I thought it was a reflection of the crappy lights they had on th3 collection bay. But today as I am putting my Lasfit floor mats, it became obvious that something is wrong.. what can I do now that it is already with me?

Hmm seems like it's the shadow of your steering wheel?
Did you or can you shine a light directly on the area (FlashLight)

The shape seems to match..... Steering-wheel?

have them pay for professional detail steam clean and if it
doesn't go away, they owe you a new seat or cushion

I believe that's a shadow from the steering wheel. Are you referring to that light brown discoloration? You can ask if their details dept has a steam cleaner if they are willing to try it; but it won't likely help. It's probably a manufacturing defect with the material from the plant. Toyota will likely deny a warranty claim for that since that's what they known for. Just live with it. It's going to get dirty.

No it's not a shaddow. That's what i thought when I came to pick up the truck. I

Probably in the sun too long; seat faded where the sun hit but not where it was shadowed by the steering wheel. Must have been a while--I would not expect it to fade all that quickly.

I mean...it is literally a shadow of the steering wheel unless you are looking at something we can't see. Or your car witnessed a nuke in Japan and the shadow is burnt into the seat.

My guess is it's a sun damage outline of your steering wheel. It was probably sitting on their lot/dock in the hot sun after they installed scotch guard/fabric protection package.
