Anyone seen this kind of mark on vinyl?
Looks almost like a burn, are there electronics in the seat that could be causing this? Drivers side bolster. I've tried a light interior APC and it doesn't budge.

It does look like a burn spot. Are you the first/only owner?
I don't believe that section of the seat is heated, so that electrical aspect can be discounted.

Yup, mine from new. It does not have the heated seats specced, but the bolsters do adjust so idk what is in there that could cause that. Ordered it myself and got it in August last year. 8000 miles on the clock, and I’m pretty meticulous when it comes to detailing. Any idea on a fix?

I don't eat or drink in my car, it's a very vertical surface with no sort of drip mark. Unless it was some sort of acid, I think a spill would be remedied with an all purpose cleaner and a microfiber.

Looks like possible etching from a chemical. I am wondering if maybe it was caused by something like a drop of hand sanitizer. Since the majority of people are applying it once they get in there vehicles. Depending on the leather it could do this if it was left on there until it dried. Maybe some leatherique could help make it look less noticeable I'd give it a try it can't hurt.

I have something similar on mine on the side bolster. I was thinking about complaining to my SA but they arent going to replace the seat for me i wager so nothing much to do.
