My Alcantara seat is dropping crumbs of foam....
My 01.5 has the Silver Alcantara seats and they are in very good condition but as I get in and out of the drivers seat small crumbs of white foam are falling onto the carpet.
Is this happening to everyone with Alcantara seats?
Should I be worried? I am outside of factory warranty but still have Audi extended warranty until next year.

Maybe you misunderstood? The foam is *inside* the seat. As foam ages, it loses elasticity and becomes "brittle". So when you compress and release the foam, it falls apart (crumbs on the ground). No alcantara care kit is going to fix this.
