09 MCS seat has "dandruff"
My 09 MCS has about 9k miles on it. For the past few months I have notices that the seat area of the drivers side has white granules on it. They tend to collect at at the back edge, but there is also white particles that collect in the plastic well under the e- brake.
I have cleaned this stuff up multiple times, to only have it appear again.
Someone suggested that the seat foam is disintegrating under the cloth and working it's way upward.
Anyone else out there having this issue
Thanks
Don

danfruff cont'd:
I've got the "leatherette" in my '09 Cooper, and have noticed something similar. It almost looks like small food crumbs, but I don't eat (or allow eating) in my car at all. I suspect that it's some kind of by-product of the build process, so hopefully it will eventually go away.
I know some of you fast drivers out there are used to a large brown stain, but this appears to almost look like a bleached out area. If I clean it with uphostery cleaner (same stuff I have used on my other vehicles for years) it will look pretty good for a day or two, but always comes back.
I am going to have my dealer take a look at it when I go in for servicing.
Thanks in advance for all the wise cracks this post will receive.
