Try a claim against LR first a few of us have been successful even if it's out of warranty if it's on the side bolster its a known issue so worth a shot. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

How bad does it have to be before LR will do anything to help.
Our car is just coming up to 2 years old very low mileage and the side beading has worn quite badly on the drivers side bolster.

The side part of my lower bolster is suede (matching colour). Does that mean its been done?

A good upholsterer would charge 1-200 to make it look new again (repair and recolour). Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

I've posted this company a few times, but in relation to leather care and repair they really are at the top of their game.
Call them and ask to speak to JudyB, they will advise you as to the best course of repair and sort you out with a qualified leather technician who will make your seats look like new again Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

The part that cracked on my SE was almost certainly not leather or suede. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I would try asking what have you got to lose they can only say no.
On a car of this quality they shouldn't crack so sooon so not fit for purpose. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.
